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, 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...

We have studied a murine tumor previously classified as a poorly differentiated chondrosarcoma. Although the cells in this tumor are surrounded by large quantities of extracellular matrix material, the matrix fails to react with stains specific for the sulfated glycosaminoglycans present in normal cartilage. Here we show at the ultrastructural level that the tumor matrix is a homogeneous, nonfi...

Introduction: Chondrosarcoma is a malignant cartilaginous tumour arising de novo in a bone or superimposed upon a pre – existing benign cartilaginous neoplasm. It makes up 10 % of malignant tumours of jaws. Case report: A case of de-differentiated chondrosarcoma of the anterior region of the mandible is presented, which was initially low grade variant and on recurrence it was turned to be a hig...

Chondrosarcoma of the prostate is a rare variant of prostatic cancer. Tumors are most commonly composed of an admixture of both original mesenchymal cells and well-differentiated chondrocytes. It is a kind of highly malignant aggressive tumor, which is rich in blood vessels. A unique case of chondrosarcoma of the prostate detected in a 59-year-old man who underwent transurethral resection of th...

Chondrosarcomas are malignant tumours of cartilaginous origin. They range from a well-differentiated growth resembling a benign cartilage tumour to a high-grade malignancy with aggressive local behaviour and the potential to metastasize. Only 5% to 10% of chondrosarcomas are known to occur in the head and neck region. A case of chondrosarcoma of the anterior region of the mandible is presented,...

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor of bone of mesenchymal origin which usually occurs in people after age 40 at the level of the pelvis and the shoulder. We report the case of a 65-year old female patient, with no particular past medical history, with impaired general condition, hospitalized for exploration of a large tumor of the right shoulder, evolving over 3 years. Clinical examination sho...

Received Jan. 2012; Received in revised form May 2012; Accepted July 2012. ABSTRACT Chondrosarcomas are slow-growing, malignant mesenchymal neoplasms characterized by formation of cartilage by the tumoral cells. They display a wide range of morphological features from a well-differentiated growing mass resembling a benign cartilage tumour to a high-grade malignancy with aggressive local invasio...

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor that produces cartilage matrix. Occurs in the fourth to sixth decades and has a male to female ratio of 2/1. It is most common in the long bones and on the surface of the pelvis. The authors present a case of chondrosarcoma of the upper end of the femur of a 50-year-old female patient who has come in our Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology two month ag...

chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary mesenchymal malignant tumor of the bone. the most common form is central chondrosarcoma and the rarest is intracortical chondrosarcoma. here, we describe the clinical, pathological, and imaging features of a case of intracortical chondrosarcoma as well as the outcome of surgical treatment. this is the third case reported in the literature.
