Chondrosarcoma premaxilla

Abstract

We present a very unique case of a premaxillary chondrosarcoma arising in a relatively 'younger' female with apparently much 'better' disease free 7-year survival. The literature has been reviewed and a meaningful discussion regarding diagnosis and treatment is highlighted.

Chondrosarcoma of maxilla

“…To better characterize this tumor, a literature search was conducted in the PubMed database to survey the published case reports of chondrosarcomas in the last many years. Our findings show that chondrosarcomas of maxillofacial region are most commonly seen affecting the maxilla according to Garrington and Collett, 1988,[ 11 ] Smatt, 1977,[ 12 ] Saito et al ., 1995,[ 6 ] Mishra, 2008,[ 13 ] Prado et al ., 2009[ 14 ] and Gawande et al ., 2014.
