Abstract
Extraskeletalmyxoidchondrosarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma that can resemble a much more common sarcoma, myxoidliposarcoma, leading to misdiagnosis. This has important clinical implications as these pathologies differ in treatment, recurrence rates, and metastasis. Here, we present a case of a 29-year-old man, who presented with a large soft tissue mass at the front of the left ankle. This case presented a diagnostic challenge based on histomorphology and IHC studies alone. Molecular testing was essential for definitive diagnosis due to lack of agreement among soft tissue pathology experts. Reporting cases of EMC is imperative in order to bridge the gap between the known pathological features of this tumor and the consideration of this neoplasm in differential diagnoses.
