Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumor with an aggressive behavior. Diagnoses of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma are established based on histomorphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings. Only one case of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (EMC) of the uterus has been reported. This article presents the second case of primary uterine EMC, occurring in a 33-year-old woman. We describe the histological and immunophenotypical features of EMC. Our observations will help pathologists and clinicians perform accurate histological diagnoses of uterine EMC and plan appropriate treatment strategies for this rare tumor.
间叶性软骨肉瘤是一种罕见的具有侵袭性的恶性间叶组织肿瘤。间叶性软骨肉瘤的诊断基于组织形态学、免疫组织化学和分子学检查结果。子宫外间叶性软骨肉瘤(EMC)仅报道过1例。本文报道了第2例原发性子宫EMC,患者为一名33岁女性。我们描述了EMC的组织学和免疫表型特征。我们的观察结果将有助于病理学家和临床医生对子宫EMC进行准确的组织学诊断,并为这种罕见肿瘤制定合适的治疗策略。
