Abstract
A 52 year old man developed an extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcom a (ESMC) arising from the pleura Clinically, the tumour mimicked a mes othelioma. Fine needle biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis of sar comatoid mesothelioma. Histological examination of multiple tumour sam ples, supported by immunohistochemical characterization, made it possi ble to correctly diagnose extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.
