  • Title: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in anterior skull base: case report.
    Author: Sugiyama K, Hirano A, Llena JF, Goodrich JT, Uozumi T, Kurisu K, Harada K.
    Journal: Noshuyo Byori; 1996 Apr; 13(1):57-60. PubMed ID: 8916127.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma involving the ethmoid sinus, right orbit, nasal cavity, and anterior cranial fossa. The tumor was totally resected by craniofacial surgery; the patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of highly cellular undifferentiated small cells, alternating with zones of cartilaginous tissues. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare, aggressive variant of chondrosarcoma, which might be encountered more frequently due to the advances in neuroimaging and surgical procedures.
