A 50‐year‐old man with benign mesenchymoma containing cartilageous tissue components with enchondral ossification was reported. The tumor was located in the soft tissue of the right leg. Microscopically, it was composed of lipomatous, myxolipomatous or angiolipomatous, hemangiomatous, myxomatous, and fibrous connective tissue in addition to the ossifying cartilageous tissue components. We have found 21 cases of benign mesenchymoma in the Japanese literature and determined that our case with cartilageous components showing enchondral ossification was unique among a variety of well‐differentiated mesenchymal components.
