Fig. 1A. 46-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondrosarcoma. Axial unenhanced CT image of left tibia shows posterior
periosteal-based lesion with cortical scalloping, internal chondroid matrix,
and bone marrow invasion.

Fig. 1B. 46-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondrosarcoma. Axial T2-weighted conventional spin-echo MR image (TR/TE,
2200/90) shows multilobular, predominantly high-signal-intensity mass (4 cm)
along posterior cortex of proximal tibia with bone marrow invasion
(arrows). No adjacent soft-tissue edema is seen.

Fig. 2A. 28-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondroma. Lateral radiograph of right humerus shows periosteal-based lesion
with extrinsic scalloping of posterolateral cortex of proximal humeral
metaphysis with small amount of marginal periosteal new bone formation
(arrows).

Fig. 2C. 28-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondroma. Sagittal unenhanced T1-weighted conventional spin-echo MR image
(TR/TE, 416/15) shows low-signal-intensity soft-tissue mass (3 cm) causing
cortical scalloping (arrow) and displacement of adjacent deltoid
muscle (D).

Fig. 2D. 28-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondroma. Sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo MR image
(3900/90; echo train length, 8) shows cortical-based periosteal mass that has
heterogeneously increased T2-weighted signal. Area of adjacent bone marrow
edema (arrow) is seen within underlying humerus.

Fig. 3. 37-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondrosarcoma. Axial T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo MR image
(TR/TE 3800/80, echo train length, 8) of left tibia shows 4-cm
high-signal-intensity mass based on posterior periosteal surface of proximal
tibial metaphysis (T) with bone marrow invasion (arrow), irregular
peripheral margins, and extensive soft-tissue edema.

Fig. 4A. 31-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondroma. Axial unenhanced CT image of left upper humerus shows
periosteal-based lesion involving anterolateral cortex. Note dense slightly
irregular calcification in lesion with irregular peripheral margins
(arrows).

Fig. 4B. 31-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondroma. Axial unenhanced T1-weighted conventional spinecho MR image (TR/TE,
416/11) shows low-signal-intensity soft-tissue mass (2.2 cm) along periosteal
surface of humerus and no evidence of bone marrow invasion.

Fig. 4C. 31-year-old man with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondroma. Axial T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo MR image (4200/90;
echo train length, 8) shows cortical-based periosteal mass with low signal
intensity correlating to mineralization seen on CT and high T2-weighted signal
constituting remainder of lesion (arrow).

chondrosarcoma. Axial T1-weighted conventional spin-echo MR image (TR/TE,
416/11) shows low-signal-intensity soft-tissue mass (3 cm) (open
arrow) causing erosion of tibia (solid arrows) and fibula at
level of syndesmosis. No evidence of marrow invasion is seen.

Fig. 5C. 64-year-old woman with pathologic diagnosis of periosteal
chondrosarcoma. Coronal T2-weighted gradient-echo MR image (416/10; flip
angle, 15°) shows high-signal-intensity soft-tissue mass causing erosion
of tibia and fibula (arrow) with no evidence of marrow invasion.
