Myxomas are rare benign tumors that originate from mesenchymal tissue. They usually develop in the atrium of the heart, the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or bone. Involvement of the skull base with an intracranial extension is very rare and not well-described in the literature. We report a rare case of primary intracranial ossifying myxoma arising from the anterior skull base and mimicking a huge ...

Computerized tomography scan of the face revealed a mass in the right maxillary sinus. The patient underwent surgery and the postoperative histopathology was suggestive of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. The present report discusses this rare presentation and the issues in ...

Chondrosarcoma, a sub mucosal hard, slow growing and local aggressive tumor, is the most frequent mesenchymal neoplasm of the larynx. Diagnosis is supported both by clinical appearance and radiological evaluation, even because a biopsy is not always easy to obtain, due to its hardness. Laryngeal chondrosarcomas are histologically differentiated as low-, intermediateand high-grade lesions and to...

Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal origin characterized by the formation of cartilaginous matrix by neoplastic cells. It is very variable in presentation, clinical, genetic and anatomo-pathological features. CS is more often found in the pelvis and the proximal long bones (femur, humerus). Localization to the small bones of the hand is very rare and it represents a diagn...

Chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is a very rare malignant tumor in head and neck region. To diagnose chondrosarcoma, it challenging to obtain an exact initial impression just by simple physical examination. Therefore, imaging studies are useful assessment chondrosarcoma. Pathological confirmation necessary for definitive diagnosis In treatment complete surgical resection most effective, but o...

Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a malignant neoplasm that results in abnormal bone and cartilage growth. Although CS is rare, it is the second most common primary bone malignancy. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a rare histological variant of CS that accounts for only about 1% of all CS and has high predilection for the head and neck region. It is usually seen in younger age group compared to convent...
