Abstract
A primary extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma of the pleura that clinically mimicked a malignant mesothelioma in a 66-yearold man with a history of asbestos exposure is described. Although exceedingly rare in this location, the characteristic histologic features, immunohistochemical reactivities, and ultrastructural features support the diagnosis of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. Many ferruginous (asbestos) bodies consistentwith the exposure history were found in the lung tissue sections and confirmed by energy-dispersive spectrometry. This case demonstrates an unusual pleural primary neoplasm associated with asbestos.
