Case report: Extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with a rare metastasis to the pancreas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (ESMC), an uncommon and highly aggressive form of chondrosarcoma, is characterized by its mesenchymal origin and absence of skeletal involvement. Only a few cases of primary ESMC with metastasis to the pancreas have been reported so far. In this study, we present a case of ESMC in the left thigh with a solitary pancreatic metastasis in a 45-year-old woman. Additionally, we provide a thorough overview of ESMC, encompassing its entire clinical progression and radiographic observations. Furthermore, we reviewed all thirteen cases of pancreatic metastasis, including this present case, analyzing patient attributes, clinical management, and prognosis.
