Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma of the Jugular Foramen in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report and Comprehensive Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma of the jugular foramen is a rare clinical entity, especially in the pediatric population. Thus, it can be confused with other pathologies. CASE PRESENTATION We report an extremely rare case of a 14-year-old female patient with jugular foramen myxoid chondrosarcoma that was completely removed through microsurgical resection. CONCLUSION: The primary purpose of the treatment is gross total resection of the chondrosarcomas. However, adjuvant methods such as radiotherapy should additionally be applied in patients who have high-grade diseases or cannot undergo gross total resection because of anatomic localization.
