Highlights • Functional imaging modalities may have an important role in diagnosing chondrosarcomas.• PET is a sensitive and specific test for differentiating chondrosarcomas and benign chondroid tumours.• Thallium-201 scintigraphy has a high positive predictive value for chondrosarcomas.• DMSA (V) has a 100% negative predictive value and can be used to rule out chondrosarcomas.
