[Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of soft tissues]

Clinical and morphological data on 2 observations of soft tissue mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (both in women) are given. In one case the primary tumour was localised in the soft tissues of the posterior part of the hip with subsequent metastasis into the lungs and the soft tissues of the head. In other case the tumour was localised in the soft tissues of the leg and no metastasis was detected. The correct diagnosis was established after histological examination only.
