Surgical Management of Extraskeletal Chondrosarcoma in the Trapezius Muscle: A Report of a Rare Case

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Extraskeletal chondrosarcomas are malignant tumors that develop in soft tissues rather than in bones. Unlike skeletal chondrosarcomas, which are more common, these tumors can occur in areas such as muscles, tendons, or fat. Their unique location in the body makes them distinct and sometimes challenging to diagnose and manage effectively. In this article, we will describe the surgical treatment of a patient diagnosed with extraskeletal chondrosarcoma within the trapezius muscle.
