Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma with "chordoid" features (chordoid sarcoma)

A R Mehio, A Ferenczy

    American Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study describes a rare gastrocolic ligament tumor resembling chordoma. Ultrastructural analysis reveals chondroid, not chordoid, features, suggesting a new classification for this myxoid chondrosarcoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Chordoid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm.
    • Distinguishing chordoid sarcoma from other tumors can be challenging.
    • Understanding the ultrastructural characteristics is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A case of chordoid sarcoma in the gastrocolic ligament was examined using light and electron microscopy.
    • Histologic examination showed features similar to chordoma.
    • Ultrastructural analysis revealed markers characteristic of chondroid neoplasms, not chordoid neoplasms.

    Findings:

    • The tumor exhibited well-developed granular endoplasmic reticulum, intracytoplasmic glycogen, and lipid bodies.
    • The extracellular matrix was collagen-poor and contained electron-dense granules, likely chondroitin sulfate.
    • These ultrastructural findings align with those observed in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest that this tumor is a type of myxoid chondrosarcoma with chordoid features.
    • This reclassification helps reconcile the histologic and ultrastructural observations.
    • Accurate classification is essential for appropriate patient management and treatment strategies.
