  • Title: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the foot, an unusual location: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Sans M, Nubiola D, Alejo M, Díaz F, Anglada A, Autonell J, Brugués J.
    Journal: Med Pediatr Oncol; 1996 Feb; 26(2):139-42. PubMed ID: 8531853.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of primary mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the proximal phalanx of the first toe. The bones of the foot represent an infrequent primary site for this neoplasm. The tumour consisted of layers of undifferentiated round cells with scanty cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei. The presence of brain, lung, and left auricle metastasis was demonstrated, and the patient died due to brain edema 18 days after admission. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor that more frequently involves the pelvic bones, the femur, and the humerus. To our knowledge, only nine cases of primary mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising from the bones of the foot have been previously reported, with none involving the phalanx of the toe.
