Preferred Label : chondrosarcoma, mesenchymal;
MeSH definition : A rare aggressive variant of chondrosarcoma, characterized by a biphasic histologic
pattern of small compact cells intermixed with islands of cartilaginous matrix. Mesenchymal
chondrosarcomas have a predilection for flat bones; long tubular bones are rarely
affected. They tend to occur in the younger age group and are highly metastatic. (DeVita
Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1456);
