title: Chondrosarcoma of spermatic cord.
abstract: A case of extraosseous chondrosarcoma arising from the spermatic cord is reported and the literature reviewed. Chondrosarcoma arising from nonosseous tissue is rare, and only a handful of cases have been reported. However, unlike chondrosarcoma of bone, extraosseous myxoid chondrosarcoma behaves in a less aggressive fashion making the distinction between the two entities prognostically significant.
