“…3,5 Various surgical approaches have been described in the literature like Weber Ferguson, sublabial-transnasal , lateral rhinotomy approach, Le Fort I downfracture and anterior cranial approach, transnasal endoscopic and microscopic approach. 1,2,4,6 The use of navigation system with endoscopic surgery has also been tried. 4 The endoscopic approach avoids facial and oral incisions producing less morbidity and thus better cosmetic result, maintains normal anatomic relationships and normal sinonasal functioning can be expected post operatively.…”

“…1,6,7 Proton radiation therapy studies have shown excellent local control and good survival rate with skull base chondrosarcomas after surgical debulking. 1 In our case, CT scan had showed erosion of the right lateral bony wall of sphenoid sinus with soft tissue involvement in the adjacent part, hence the patient was sent for post operative radiotherapy.…”

Myxoid Chondrosarcoma of Nasomaxilloethmoid Region with Intracranial Extension

Chondrosarcoma of the faciomaxillary area constitute only 4 % of non-epithelial tumours of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx, making it one of the rare malignancy (Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 60(3):284-286, [1]), with its myxoid variety still rarest. It is a slow-growing tumour, occurring mostly in middle-aged men. Primary chondrosarcoma of the nasal and paranasal sinus region, including the nasal septum, rarely extends into the cranial or intracranial areas unless there is recurrence (Indian J Ophthalmol 41(4):189-191, [2]. When it does occur, early diagnosis is difficult because patients generally present with common, nonspecific sinonasal complaints. A 45 year male patient came to ENT OPD with complaints of epistaxis, diplopia, facial swelling and loosening of teeth. On examination extensive swelling was present involving right maxilla, palate and ethmoid with shifting of Rt eye laterally. FNAC of swelling was non specific infected cystic lesion. On endoscopic examination there was erosion of Rt lateral wall of nose with mucoid material filling maxilla. Its wall was expanded & lined with velvety red mucosa. Maxillary antral biopsy report was myxoid chondrosarcoma. CT scan revealed extensive lesion of maxilla, ethmoid going up to optic nerve and brain. This case of myxoid chondrosarcoma is presented as it is a rare diagnosis. It presented with advanced disease involving nasomaxilloethmoid region and extended up to optic canal and middle cranial fossa. In a thorough review of Indian literature this was a rarely diagnosed tumour.

This review contains the largest pool of sinonasal chondrosarcoma patients to date and suggests aggressive surgical resection is the most common treatment modality for this condition. The use of adjuvant radiotherapy for prevention of local recurrence after subtotal or total resection has not been proven effective. However, the use of radiotherapy in addition to surgical resection has shown benefit in some studies in terms of survival.
