“…Four cases of primary intravascular mesenchymal chondrosarcoma have been reported in previous studies, with 2 arising from the femoral vein and 2 arising from the iliac vein 2,3,6,7 . Three of the patients presented with leg swelling as a chief symptom, and 1 presented with low back pain.…”

“…A recent analysis of the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database found an incidence of 0.013 cases per 100,000 people 1 . Bone-derived and extraskeletal variants have been described [2][3][4][5][6][7] . In this report, we document a case of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising from the femoral vein, which initially presented as an unprovoked deep venous thrombosis.…”

Case: A 30-year-old man presented with progressive lower right extremity pain and swelling, initially diagnosed as a deep venous thrombosis. He returned 18 months later after 2 episodes of gross hemoptysis, with chest computed tomography angiography findings concerning for tumor thrombus in the left pulmonary artery. Subsequent advanced imaging showed a lesion arising from his right femoral vein, which open biopsy revealed to be a primary intravascular mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. He underwent medical therapy, with improvement of pain and swelling and successful return to work. Conclusion: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare pathology, and its intravascular origin makes this case extraordinarily uncommon.

“…In general, primary venous leiomyosarcoma usually is found in the inferior vena cava and lower extremity veins. In 1992, Dzsinich et al 9 conducted a retrospective study of 210 cases of primary venous leiomyosarcoma and reported that approximately 33% of cases occurred in lower extremity veins, with most tumors found in the great saphenous veins, femoral veins, external iliac veins, and popliteal veins. Leiomyosarcoma mainly originates from vascular smooth muscle cells, and the typical microscopic manifestations include disordered arrangement of muscle fibers and small spindle cells, with positive staining for eosinophilic cytoplasm, desmine, and actine, of which the latter 2 are immunohistochemical staining markers of smooth muscle cells.…”

Primary extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising from the iliac vein

The iliac vein is an extremely rare site for mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, and patients with primary extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising from a vein always suffer a very poor prognosis. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who presented with a 5-month history of left leg edema in 2015. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a large mass in the left iliac vein with scattered calcifications. Wide-margin resection was performed, and histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the presence of intraluminal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with local invasion out of the vein wall. Due to poor patient compliance, postoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were not started, and a bone scan performed 16 weeks postoperatively showed multiple bone metastases. The patient died on the twenty-fourth postoperative week.

The iliac vein is an extremely rare site of metastasis for extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (ESMC). Involvement of the veins usually leads to an extremely dismal prognosis. Here, we report a 50-year-old patient with retroperitoneal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma and initial metastasis to the iliac bone, which further progressed to involve the iliac vein. In this study, we reviewed the major characteristics of ESMC and the previously reported cases, considering the rarity of these tumors.
