Primary chondrosarcoma of the ovary

Abstract

A case of a large, completely excised left-sided primary ovarian chondrosarcoma occurring in a 61-year-old woman is described. There was no evidence of metastases. Histologically the tumour was a pure chondrosarcoma, which was mainly well differentiated. The patient is well and disease free at 4 years. Review of the literature revealed no other reported cases of pure chondrosarcoma of the ovary. The possible histogenetic origin of this neoplasm is discussed.

Chondrosarcoma of the Urinary Bladder: Report of a Case with Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Findings and Review of the Literature

“…They have been described most frequently in the laryngeal skeleton [3], but cases have also been reported in the pul monary artery [4], ovary [5], spermatic cord [6], kidney [7], retroperitoneum [8], lobar bronchus [9], ureter [10], mediastinum [11], pleura [12] and nasal lower lid [13], In the urinary bladder, chondrosarco mas have been reported only twice, and 1 of these is a disputed case. Goertchen et al [14] reported a poorly differentiated chondrosar coma in a 81-year-old male, and Suster et al [15] described a 65-year-old male with a large bladder tumor, originally classified as fibrosarcoma with cartilaginous foci.…”

Primary low grade myxoid liposarcoma of the ovary: A case report and review of literature

“…1 Ovarian soft tissue tumors diverse as benign (leiomyoma, hemangioma, neural tumors, lipoma, lymphangioma, epitheloid angiomyolipoma, chondroma, osteoma, fibromatosis, extrarenal rhabdoid tumor, myxoma) and malignant tumors (leiomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, malignant schwannoma, low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma [MLS]) but only a number of small case series or case reports can be found. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Among these tumors myxoma, myxoid leiomyosarcoma, low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma and MLS have a myxoid appearance.The morphology of these tumors in the ovary is similar to where they are frequently seen. However, when they are seen in an uncommon localization such as the ovary, it may be difficult to differentiate these lesions from other primary ovarian tumors with extensive myxoid degeneration.…”
