  • Title: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the mandible: a rare malignant tumor.
    Author: Singh RK, Varshney S, Bist SS, Harsh M, Gupta N.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2014 Sep; 93(9):E18-21. PubMed ID: 25255353.
    Abstract:
    Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCHS) is a highly aggressive, malignant, cartilaginous tumor that represents about 1% of all chondrosarcomas. Only about 50 cases of MCHS of the jaw have been reported in the English-language literature; maxillary tumors are much more common than mandibular tumors. We present a new case of MCHS of the mandible that arose in a 22-year-old woman whose initial two biopsies did not reveal the features of the tumor. The diagnosis was made only after an incisional biopsy.
