Abstract
Chordoma is rarely seen in appendicular skeleton. Here we describe a rare case of chordoma occuring in distal radius. Radiograph showed ill defined lytic distal radius, meta diaphyseal lesion. IHC marker for Chordoma Brachyury was done (TMH , Mumbai), which came diffuse strongly positive- confirming the pre op diagnosis of Extra Axial Chordoma. He was treated with Wide resection of the distal radius and one bone forearm wrist arthrodesis
Keywords: Chordoma, extraxial, radius

Abstract
Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is an exceedingly rare tumor of young adults with melanocytic differentiation. The exact incidence is largely unknown, although occasional case series mention CCS comprising less than 1% of all soft tissue sarcoma. CCS is a deep-seated tumor, typically involving tendons and aponeuroses. It has a predilection for lower extremities, particularly around the foot and ankle region, accounting for nearly 40% of cases. A primary dermal origin is rarer. We report a case of primary cutaneous CCS of 42 year old female located on the left popliteal fossa. Complete excision led to relief of symptoms
Keywords: Clear cell Sarcoma, Tumor, CCS

Abstract
Whilst common in subcutaneous locations, inclusion epidermoid cysts arising from the pelvic bones are extremely rare. We report the case of a patient presenting with coccydynia and altered bowel habit who, following investigation was found to have a large cystic lesion of the sacrum with extending anteriorly into the presacral tissue resulting in compression of the rectum. The lesion was treated by surgical resection, sacrificing the lower sacral nerve roots. Histology confirmed an epidermoid cyst. Whilst a rare presenting symptom, careful assessment of the patient presenting with coccydynia and altered bowel function must raise the suspicion of a sacral pathology that demands further investigation.
Keywords: sacral epidermoid cyst, rare presentation

Abstract
Osseous hydatid disease is rare, and it is even rare to see it in extremities or pelvis. At times these lesions present as destructive lesions on radiographs and mimic neoplasm. Here we present two such cases, one arising in the lower end of femur mimicking chondrosarcoma and required excision and surgical stabilization. Second case presented as a cystic lesion in iliac bone suggestive of aneurysmal bone cyst. Both are quite unusual presentation and hydatid disease should always be kept in differential while dealing with such lesion
Keywords: Osseous hydatid disease, chondrosarcoma, aneurysmal bone cyst

Abstract
Periosteal chondroma is a rare bone tumor. This is a slow growing benign cartilaginous tumor of bone. It is rarely reported in literature among Asian population. A 35 years old female presented to orthopaedics OPD with dull aching pain and mild swelling over volar aspect right forearm. Patient advised to undergo radiographs and MRI which showed the evidence of periosteal chondroma over anteromedial aspect right radius diaphysis. Hereby we are reporting our case of periosteal chondroma of radius- a rare pathology at rare location. Patient was operated with marginal excision and showed no recurrence during 2 year follow up.
Keywords: periosteal chondroma; rare; radius; asian; marginal excision.

Abstract
A 35yr old female patient presented with a pulsatile swelling of right proximal tibia present for 2 years. There was a rapid increase in size and pain in the 6 weeks preceding presentation. Radiographs showed a lytic lesion of about 8cm x 8cm in the anteromedial aspect of the proximal tibia with MRI showing a highly vascular lesion. A needle biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Glomangioma. It was treated with marginal resection of the tumour and fibular grafting of the defect.
