EXTRA SKELETAL MESENCHYMAL CHONDROSARCOMA :A CASE REPORT

R Rajaraman, S Subbiah, Navin Naushad

Abstract


Chondrosarcoma is a common primary bone neo-plasm . It includes a heterogeneous group of tu-mor types characterized by the production of a cartilage matrix. Chondrosarcoma has a classic intra osseous origin, however extra skeletal origin is not uncommon. The Mesenchymal variant accounts for only 2 % of all chondrosarcomas and is a high grade ,aggressive tumor with bimorphic histological features. Mesenchymal chondrosar-coma is chiefly an osseous tumor and extra osse-ous origin in rare .This tumor type contrasts from conventional chondrosarcoma in its unique chem-otherapy and radiotherapy sensitivity. We report a case of extra skeletal mesenchymal chondrosar-coma and review current literature on this unique variant .
