Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare neoplasm that affects soft tissue and is independent from normal cartilage, bone and periosteum. Due to its low frequency, there is no clear consensus on its treatment.
Case Report: We present the case of a 39-year-old male with pain in plantar region of right foot of several months of evolution. After a Tru-Cut biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with EMC of the right foot and was performed an amputation below-knee. Conclusion: EMC located on the foot is an extremely infrequent condition that has rarely been published. This article reviews the published literature to reach a consensus on the best approach for its treatment. | |
