The answer is B, C, D. Chondrosarcoma are often bulky, gelatinous cystic tumours arising from the pelvic bones.

Chordomas arise in the sacrococcygeal region or at the spheno-occipital region; the tumour cells often contain droplets of mucoid material.

Ewing's tumour usually occurs in children and consists of sheets of small cells which may contain glycogen. Giant cells are a feature of the giant cell tumour of bone or osteoclastoma (A). Urinary catecholamines are elevated (E) in neuroblastoma, a childhood tumour which may be difficult to distinguish from Ewing's tumour histologically.
