Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are very rare tumors, and they are more aggressive in comparison to the conventional type tumors. They can occur in any location containing mesenchymal cells, but most of them arise in the lower extremities, the leptomeninges and the eye orbits. Other sites are very uncommon and they represent approximately 1% of all chondrosarcomas; these rare tumor locations carry a poor prognosis. In this report, we present a case of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the pancreas. We could find only one case of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with pancreatic metastasis from thigh in our PubMed-line search. We describe here a case of primary originating mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the pancreas in a 40-year old man who presented with abdominal pain, and this is the first report of the pancreas as the primary origin ofmesenchymal chondrosarcoma
