Urothelial carcinoma with abundant myxoid stroma is a newly-described and extremely rare entity. Since only very few cases have been reported, there is no consensus on its nomenclature. Microscopic examination revealed invasive urothelial carcinoma with widespread low-grade noninvasive areas. There were focal invasive areas in the neighborhood of the renal parenchyma. Malignant urothelial tumor...

Skeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is an extraordinarily rare neoplasm with a distinct histological morphology. Although it grows slowly, the clinical course was found to be worse than usual chondrosarcoma. We report a case of a skeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma in the calcaneus of a 21-year-old female who presented to us with a feature of gradually increasing benign swelling left foot for last two ye...

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a relatively rare but well-defined neoplasm. This report describes two patients, one with EMC of the buttock and one with EMC of the knee. The two cases presented with large lobed masses and long T1 and T2 signaling identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An enhanced MRI scan demonstrated enhancement of the tumors. The tumors were composed of...

Primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma (PPMS), classified as low to intermediate grade malignant myxoid endobronchial tumor, is rarely reported. Most reported cases occurred in lung parenchyme with an endobronchial component. Herein, we report a case of PPMS in a 29-year-old woman that developed in a major fissure of the left lung without parenchymal invasion. Histopathologically, the diagnosis was c...

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma, which usually occurs in the lower extremities. It is often associated with chromosomal translocations. The clinical, radiological and pathological findings in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, with an origin in the cerebellopontine angle, are described along with the issues associated with management of this tumour pres...

For prognostic analyses of p53 alterations (p53 gene mutations + p53 immunopositivity) and Mib-1 proliferation index, we investigated 42 primary malignant lipomatous tumors for which complete clinical data and a long follow-up were available. p53 gene mutations were investigated by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism-sequencing analysis, and immunohistochemistry was used to determine p5...

This report presents an extremely rare case of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) arising from the clavicular periosteum. To the best of our knowledge, this may be the first detailed report of its clinicopathological findings. The patient was a 48-year-old man. Plain radiography and CT did not demonstrate any osteolytic lesion or periosteal reaction in the right clavicle. However, MRI sh...

Myxoid melanoma is a rare variant of melanoma, which is characterized by atypical spindle cells and dense mucin deposition in dermis. This tumor is usually seen in elderly people with a similar progress in other variants of melanoma. A 28-year-old male presented to our outpatient clinic with a 6-month history of a slowly growing asymptomatic pink lesion on his arm. Dermoscopic examination revea...
