Chondrosarcoma of the Mandible: A Case Report

Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma: A Report of Two Cases with Immunohistochemical Study

  Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is an uncommon tumor with an aggressive behaviour. We present two cases of MC. The first one is a unique case of MC of the maxilla metastasized from the clavicle. The second describes MC in the mandible with extensive involvement of the condyle. A 31-year-old male and a 22-year-old male presented to Saveetha Dental College, with a 2-month history of progressiv...

MANDIBULAR OSTEOSARCOMA MISTAKEN FOR PERICORONAL INFECTION A CASE REPORT

Osteosarcoma is relatively rare in the jaws and variable in presentation, thus its recognition may be quite confusing and delay diagnosis and treatment. Also, in contrast to most malignancies, osteosarcoma is usually encountered earlier in life and may clinically resemble features of more common oral entities such as chronic osteomyelitis, fibrous dysplasia, osteoblastic metastatic carcinom...

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of mandible

Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas (MC) are rare and aggressive forms of chondrosarcoma. They are distinct tumors arising in unicentric or multicentric locations from both skeletal and extraskeletal tissues. The most affected region is the facial skeleton, especially the jaws. In this report, we present a case of MC primarily involving the mandible in a 60-year-old female patient.
