Chondroid tumors comprise a heterogenous group of benign to overt malignant neoplasms, which may be difficult to differentiate from one another by histological examination. A group of 43 such tumors was stained with nine relevant antibodies in an attempt to find consistent marker profile(s) for the different subgroups. Archival material from three extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas, five chor...

A 41-year-old woman visited our plastic surgeon with complaints of a progressively enlarged lower backmass for months. The mass had become very tender recently. Her physical examination demonstrated a round, movable, solid mass over the lower back, about 8 cm 7 cm at its largest diameter (Fig. 1A).

Chondroid lipoma is a unique, uncommon benign lipomatous tumour. Due to distinct morphological simily, it is important to distinguish it from extraskeletal chondrosarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS). We report such a neoplasm with brief a review of literature.

Intracranial extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant variant of chondrosarcomas. We present a 5-year-old Saudi male child who was brought to the Emergency Department with the complaints of headache, irritability, vomiting, and unsteadiness of gait with right hemiparesis. Radiological studies confirmed the presence of a space-occupying lesion in the left cerebral hemisphere ...
