Embryonal form of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma with intermediate filament positive hyaline-like globules

Reported is a case of an embryonal form of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. The tumor cells contained PAS-positive, eccentrically located intracytoplasmatic, hyaline-like globules. These globules seemed to be a hallmark of this tumor, and they reacted strongly with cytokeratin and S-100 protein antibodies. The tumor was negative in reactions with desmin and GFAP antibody.
