Abstract
This is a case report of an extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (ESMC) that originally
occurred in the retroperitoneum of a 24-year-old female and later metastasized to
the left proximal humerus. Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are very rare in comparison
to conventional chondrosarcomas and even more so when arising from an extraskeletal
location. In this report, we discuss the major characteristics of ESMC and offer a
review of the current knowledge regarding this rare disease entity.
