Chondromucinous tumors involving craniocerebral slope area: a clinicopathological analysis of eight cases / 中华病理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the histological type and clinicopathological characteristics of the craniocerebral slope tumors with chondromucinous features.@*Methods@#Retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze chondromucinous tumors in the slope area diagnosed at Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from October 2011 to June 2018. Relevant clinical and pathological data were reviewed, and immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the immunophenotype of the tumors.@*Results@#Eight cases were identified, including 4 males and 4 females with patient age ranging from 20 to 48 years. Histologically, there were 1 case of chordoid meningioma, 1 chondromyxoid fibroma, 1 mucinous chondrosarcoma, 1 Maffucci syndrome, and 4 chondroid chordomas.@*Conclusion@#Chondromucinous tumors of the slope area include chordoma, chordoid meningioma, chondromyxoid fibroma, and myxoid chondrosarcoma and their correct diagnosis is mainly based on the morphological characteristics, immunophenotype and comprehensive analysis of clinical data.
