Abstract
A case of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma with intracisternal micr otubules is presented. The microtubules were generally straight, paral lel, closely packed, and evenly spaced, but they did not form geometri c arrays. Aggregates of stromalike myxoid material were present in the cisternae and the adjacent cytoplasm. Microtubules were never found w ithin the cytoplasm. A similar ultrastructural appearance was seen in 4 of 10 other examples of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.
