    FIGURE 1.

    Anterior and posterior 99mTc HMDP whole-body bone images show moderately diffusely increased uptake in soft tissues of the right thigh as indicated by open arrows.

    (A) The photomicrograph (500 × magnification, hematoxylin-eosin stain) of biopsy tissue shows abundant chondroid matrix surrounding irregular arrangement of tumor cells with vaculoid cytoplasm. (B) The photomicrograph (500 × magnification) shows lobular arrangement of tumor cell with myxo-chondroid matrix. Note string-like growth pattern of tumor cells radiating into matrix. These findings were consistent with myxoid chondrosarcoma.
