Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas, although very rare compared with conventional chondrosarcomas, are one of the few primary malignant tumours of bone that sometimes also arise in the soft tissues. Here we present a rare case of retroperitoneal extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (ESMC) in a 50-year-old female that showed characteristic extensive calcification. In this report, we discuss CT features of ESMC with pathological correlation.
