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.

Introduction: Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (CS) is a rare indolent malignant tumor. High-grade (G3), dedifferentiated (DD), and myxoid (MY) CSs are considered more aggressive subtypes due to their metastatic potential and relatively poor outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate treatment modalities and survival outcomes in patients affected by these rarer CS subtypes.

Liposarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcoma primarily originating in deep soft tissues and the retroperitoneum. Sarcoma classification includes atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), myxoid liposarcoma, and pleomorphic liposarcoma. DDL is most prevalent in the retroperitoneum and often has two distinct components, a well-differentiated lipomatous component and a dedifferentiated nonlipomatous component that could be morphologically similar to malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) or fibrosarcoma.

Introduction: Percutaneous cryoablation is a first-line therapeutic option for primary neoplasms and metastatic lesions of the musculoskeletal system. Treatment of abdominal wall tumors is challenging as surgical resection can be highly morbid and necessitate complex reconstructive surgery; the efficacy of cryoablation for abdominal wall tumors may be limited by inadequate posterior margins owing to the proximity of intra-abdominal organs. With laparoscopy and insufflation, peritoneal structures can be safely mobilized away from the abdominal wall, allowing for adequate deep margin freeze and visualization of the ice ball.
