Successful endovascular removal of a chondroblastic osteosarcoma embolus within the left middle cerebral artery. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2020 Jul;33(3):451-452 Authors: Soto JM, Reed LK, Benardete EA Abstract A 57-year-old woman with metastatic chondroblastic osteosarcoma developed sudden-onset right-sided weakness and aphasia. She was found to have an occluded left middle cerebral artery (M1 segment) and underwent endovascular stroke intervention with return to a normal neurological exam within 24 h. Histologic analysis of the embolus was consistent with chondroblastic osteosarcoma. PMID: 32675984 [PubMed]
