چکیده

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas usually arise deep in the proximal extremities and limb girdles. Patients with this type of sarcoma have high rates of local recurrence and metastases, but do not typically have paraneoplastic syndromes. We report an unusual case of a 49-year-old man with anti-Hu syndrome in the setting of an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. This case shows the importance of searching for antineural antibodies in oncologic patients with new neurologic deficits, and of having a judicious workup for occult malignancies in patients with known antineural antibodies.

Primary extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma of pulmonary arteries: a rare mimic of acute pulmonary thromboembolism.

Primary extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma of the pulmonary arteries is a very rare entity. Multimodality imaging reports on this entity are few. Myxoid chondrosarcoma is characterized by chondroid and neurogenic differentiation in extraskeletal locations. These tumours represent fewer than 2.5% of all soft-tissue sarcomas, and are most commonly found in the lower extremities, limb girdles, di...
