We attempted to resect peripheral chondrosarcoma of the pelvis with clear margins. Because of the proximity of vessels or organs, there is still concern that narrow surgical margins may have an adverse effect on disease outcomes. Although current guidelines recommend resection of histologic Grade II or Grade III chondrosarcomas with a "wide" margin, there are no specific recommendations for the adequate width of a surgical margin.
