| Abstract |
A new cell line has been derived from a human extraskeletal myxoid
chondrosarcoma (ESMCS) obtained from a 77-year-old female. Its
morphological, chromosomal, and biological characteristics are described
in this report. This cell line is morphologically very similar to the
original tumor cells and secretes hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfuric
acid, and keratan sulfuric acid. At the time of this report, the cell line
has undergone 20 passages and continues to exhibit the original
morphological, chromosomal, and biological characteristics. From our
studies, it is strongly suggested that tumor cells of human extraskeletal
myxoid chondrosarcoma might be cartilaginous cells.
