title: Cartilage and bone containing benign mesenchymoma of the thigh and popliteal fossa.
abstract: We report a case of a large cartilage and bone containing mesenchymoma of the thigh and popliteal fossa in a 56-year-old man. Mesenchymomas are rare tumors with a histologically benign pattern. They may be associated with morbidity as a result of local infiltrative growth.
