Primary Spinal Dumbbell-Shaped Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma Located Intradurally and Extradurally

Primary intraspinal dumbbell-shaped mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with massive calcifications: a case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor arising from bone or soft tissues. Instraspinal dumbbell-shaped mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is even rarer; however, it should not be neglected by clinicians. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a 1.5-month history of sciatic pain and numbness in the left leg. Computed tomography and magnetic re...

Ventrally Located Cervical Dumbbell Ganglioneuroma Producing Spinal Cord Compression

Ganglioneuroma is an uncommon benign tumor and arise from neural crest cells or sympathetic and peripheral nerves. A 13-year-old boy was referred to our institute and presented with three-day history of right upper extremity weakness associated with neck pain for nearly one month. Magnetic resonance imaging showed right side dumbbell shaped extramedullary lesion at the C2-3 level extending outs...

Primary extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the vulva

Extraskeletal chondrosarcoma is rare, making up only 1% of reported chondrosarcoma. We experienced 3 cases of extraskeletal chondrosarcoma, especially in vulva. They were suspected as lipoma of the vulva. The patients had noticed a small but growing mass on their vulva which had been palpated earlier. The masses were excised with a 2 cm resection margin. The final pathological reports confirmed...
