title: The unsuspected soft tissue chondrosarcoma.
abstract: Five cases of undifferentiated soft tissue sarcomas have been studied with particular reference to the identification of their mucosubstances. The use of alcian blue in solutions of magnesium chloride is described. It is suggested that undifferentiated soft tissue chondrosarcomas may be missed owing to inadequate investigation.
