These tumors can become extensive, causing bony expansion and destruction. A 31-year-old man with a large swelling on the left side of the face is presented. Histologic examination of an incisional biops...

Bony metastases following complete resection of periosteal chondrosarcoma

Periosteal chondrosarcoma (PC) is a rare low-grade malignant cartilaginous tumor originating on the bone surface. Wide surgical resection is the recommended treatment. Prognosis is usually good if surgery is adequate. Metastasis is late and very rare. We present the clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of a PC accompanied with fibular cortical invasion in a 30-year-old woman. Wide ...

It results from disruption of the vasculature within the submucosal plane of the esophageal wall. This leads to dissection of the submucosa by blood, which extends the length of the esophagus and causes intramural expansion and compression...
