Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is an unusual soft tissue sarcoma with distinctive histologic features. It once was called chordoid sarcoma because it resembles chordoma histologically. The lesion has been shown to be of chondroblastic origin. This lesion shown to have ultrastructural and molecular features distinct from that of myxoid chondrosarcoma of bone. We report a case of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma in forefoot.

유척삭종(parachordoma)은 팔, 다리, 가슴에 주로 발생하며 천천히 자라는 저등급 악성 종양으로 알려져 있다. 대표적인 감별진단으로는 척삭종(chordoma), 뼈외 점액양 연골육종(extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma) 등이 있으며, 조직학적 검사와 함께 면역조직화학적 검사가 감별진단에 도움이 된다. 저자는 우측 흉벽에 발생한 유척삭종을 광범위 절제 및 흉벽 재건술 후 16개월 동안 재발없이 추적 관찰한 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Intracranial extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is extremely rare, with only seven patients previously reported. We present a case report of a 21-year-old woman admitted for weakness in her right extremities and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed hydrocephalus and a well-enhanced large mass around her left thalamus. A left parietal craniotomy and a cortisectomy at the superior parietal lobule were performed. Total surgical resection was also performed, and pathology results confirmed an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. Postoperative MRI showed no residual tumor, and the patient underwent radiotherapy. After six months of radiotherapy, the patient's headache and weakness had improved to grade IV. This malignant tumor showed high rates of recurrence in previous reports. We here report another occurrence of this highly malignant and rare tumor in a patient treated using total surgical excision and adjuvant radiotherapy.
