AN AUTOPSY CASE OF PRIMARY OSTEOID CHONDROSARCOMA OF THE LUNG

Abstract

An autopsy case of primary osteoid chondrosarcoma of the left lung in a woman of seventy-four years old, presumably arising from the bronchial mesodermal tissue, is reported.
The primary osteoid chondrosarcoma of the lung is surprisingly rare.
A search of the literature reveals a similar case reported by Greenspan in 1933 and there is no other reported case at the present time.
