Clinico-Radiographical Findings in Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma of Maxilla – A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is classified as a malignant tumor formed by the abnormal differentiation of hyaline cartilage. A painless, slow growing swelling with a lobulated appearance is the most common clinical feature of Chondrosarcoma. Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma is a rare high grade histological variant of chondrosarcoma. There is skeletal and extra skelatal manifestation of this tumor and has a relatively poor prognosis. In this article we are discussing a case report on mesenchymal chondrosarcoma involving maxilla and the pterygopalatine space. A brief review on radiological features and differential diagnosis is also included in this article.
