Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma, which usually occurs in the lower extremities. It is often associated with chromosomal translocations. The clinical, radiological and pathological findings in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, with an origin in the cerebellopontine angle, are described along with the issues associated with management of this tumour presenting acutely in a 26-year-old woman who was 20 weeks pregnant.
