ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is an uncommon, slow growing malignant tumor which is a rare variant of chondrosarcoma, having a predilection for the maxillofacial skeleton; less often involves the soft tissue sites in head and neck. Case Report: We report an unusual case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma on posterior palate in a 45-year-old male, who was previously diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma in private clinic. Conclusion: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma shows varied clinical and radiographic features, with occurrence of this lesion in unusual locations like posterior region of jaws which may lead to error in clinical diagnosis and early treatment as it has high affinity for recurrence and delayed metastasis. Keywords: Cartilage tumor, Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, Posterior maxilla, Recurrent lesion |
