The authors present a case of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. The MR study clearly showed the extent of the tumor and a "rings and arcs" pattern appeared after Gadolinium-DTPA administration in the T1 weighted images. Dynamic Tc-99m MDP and Tc-99m DTPA scintigraphy showed increased blood flow in the mass. The delayed 3-hour images demonstrated moderate Tc-99m MDP uptake, but intense Tc-99m DTPA accumulation in the tumor. Surprisingly, the Ga-67 scan failed to demonstrate the tumor.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D008297 Male Males
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002813 Chondrosarcoma A slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. Most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion or in patients with ENCHONDROMATOSIS. (Stedman, 25th ed) Chondrosarcomas
D005710 Gallium Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of gallium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Ga atoms with atomic weights 63-68, 70 and 72-76 are radioactive gallium isotopes. Radioisotopes, Gallium

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D012983 Soft Tissue Neoplasms Neoplasms of whatever cell type or origin, occurring in the extraskeletal connective tissue framework of the body including the organs of locomotion and their various component structures, such as nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, etc. Neoplasm, Soft Tissue,Neoplasms, Soft Tissue,Soft Tissue Neoplasm
D013669 Technetium Tc 99m Medronate A gamma-emitting radionuclide imaging agent used primarily in skeletal scintigraphy. Because of its absorption by a variety of tumors, it is useful for the detection of neoplasms.
