Abstract
We report a typical extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) case and its histological, cytological, immunohistchemical, and cytogenetic findings. Histologically, the tumor was nodular, defined by fibrous septa filled with pale blue myxoid or chondromyxoid substance. Imprint cytology specimens contained abundant myxoid stroma with dispersed small, round to oval tumor cells. Some cells had coffee−been−like nuclear grooves. In cell block materials, tumor cells were immunopositive for S-100 protein. Cytogenetically, reciprocal translocation t (9 ; 17) (q22 ; q11) was detected. Our findings suggest that cytology could detect EMC.
