  Lung cancer closely resembling Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma (EMC), called “primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma (PPMS),” is an extremely rare tumor. This report is presented here of a unique case showing EMC-like changes only in metastases from conventional lung adenocarcinoma in an 81-year-old man. After lung tumor resection and chemo-radiotherapy, he underwent the resection of right adrenal metastasis composed of carcinomatous and EMC-like components. There were multifocal transitions between these components. He was treated with additional chemo-radiotherapy for newly developed liver and brain metastases, but he died 3.3 years after the initial surgery. Autopsy revealed EMC-like tumors, with or without minute adenocarcinomatous components, extensively involving widespread organs. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction did not detect EWSR1- CREB1 fusion in th.. Read More»
