Rationale: Chondrosarcoma, although being a rare entity in jaws, may turn fatal if left untreated or inadequately excised. Prognosis in terms of 5-year survival rate ranges from 90% for Grade I, 81% for Grade II and 43% for Grade III respectively. Patient Concerns: A 35-year-old male patient reported with a gradually progressive hard painless growth over right maxillary molar region. His main concern was removal of pathology without long-term morbidity. Diagnosis: Computed tomography revealed ill-defined mass with internal calcification involving posterior half of upper right alveolus. Treatment and Outcomes: Mandatory biopsy suggested benign chondroma, however wide excision and infrastructural maxillectomy revealed Grade II chondrosarcoma. Take-away Lessons: Complex anatomy of maxilla renders surgical excision of chondrosarcomas with histological clear margins, a daunting task. Due to misdiagnosis of preoperative biopsy, suboptimal excision of malignant mass may lead to local recurrence and occasional distant metastasis. This necessitates further therapy and long term follow up, with occasional poor patient compliance.

“…Chondrosarcoma is a rare bone and soft tissue tumor, 1–3 but it is the most common primary malignant chest wall tumor, with better long-term survival compared to other chest wall sarcomas. 4 , 5 The metastatic potential of these tumors is important. Some authors have reported that chest wall chondrosarcoma has poor outcomes related to distant metastasis.…”

“…Some authors have reported that chest wall chondrosarcoma has poor outcomes related to distant metastasis. 5 The prognostic factors of this tumor include age at diagnosis, tumor stage, tumor grade, chondrosarcoma subtype, surgery, and radiotherapy. 2 Some subtypes of chondrosarcoma respond differently to the various adjuvant treatments (chemotherapy is efficient in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma), and low-grade chondrosarcomas rarely metastasize.…”

Chondrosarcomas are rare cartilage-like mesenchymal tumors. Some rib-sited tumors can mimic other common tumors. We present the case of a 24-year-old female with chondrosarcoma of the fourth left rib, mimicking breast cancer. Complete resection with chest wall reconstruction was performed successfully with good prognostic results. Physicians should bear in mind the possibility of a primary chest wall tumor mimicking breast cancer that needs a different therapeutic strategy. Complete surgical resection and chest wall reconstruction is the mainstay of treatment for chondrosarcoma.

The purpose of this study was to achieve better understanding of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC). 13 cases of EMC confirmed by surgery biopsy were retrospectively studied. All patients underwent preoperative CT or/and MRI examinations. Among six patients who underwent preoperative CT examinations, six cases of lesions exhibited hypodensity on unenhanced image, three cases of tumor showed funicular spots or patchy calcification, and four cases of tumor did not show any obvious enhancement after enhanced CT scan. Among ten patients who underwent preoperative MRI examination, 8 cases of tumor revealed uniform or slight hyposignal intensity on T1WI, 10 cases of tumor demonstrated lobulated hypersignal intensity with multiple low signal intensity of interval septa on T2WI, and 5 cases of lesions indicated characteristic appearance: septa enhancement with tumor stroma between interval septa being unenhanced. EMC usually occurred at older men and at certain location such as limbs, trunk, and subcutaneous tissues. EMC usually exhibited low density mass (mostly 20-40HU) with calcification and in a portion of the cases showed light or no enhancement on CT. On MRI, EMC showed lobulated hypersignal intensity on T2WI with characteristic arc, septa, or interval septa enhancement.
