A case of extraskeletal chondrosarcoma of the left brachial plexus is described with emphasis on the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this site. With combination therapy the patient survived 6 years. Recurrent disease in the plexus region and adjacent spinal cord resulted in a painful, flail limb. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
