Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor of cartilagenous origin, with only 41 previously reported cases. It has a distinctive histologic pattern and should be distinguished from chondrosarcoma of bone because of its different behavioral pattern. The light microscopic, histo‐chemical and electron microscopic features of such a tumor are reported.
