Extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (ESMC) metastasizing to the pancreas in isolation is a rare entity. We present a case of a 30-year-old gentleman who underwent surgery for chondrosarcoma of the left temporal region (2017) and was detected to have a space-occupying a lesion of the pancreas 6 years post-surgery. Distal pancreatectomy was performed, and the histopathological examination revealed features suggestive of an extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. ESMC have a long latency period before presentation and these patients have a good survival following surgery. We present this case owing to its rarity.
