Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a rare variety of chondrosarcoma (CS), which is both clinically unique and histologically distinct compared with conventional CS. Maxillofacial MCs are aggressive, have a tendency for recurrence and significant distant metastasis to lung and bone, and are associated with overall poor prognosis. Histopathologically, it is a biphasic tumor comprising of islands of hyaline cartilage with undifferentiated small round cells. Here, we present an interesting case of MC involving the left half of maxilla along with a brief review of the relevant literature.
间叶性软骨肉瘤（MC）是软骨肉瘤（CS）的一种罕见类型，与传统的CS相比，它在临床和组织学上都具有独特性。颌面部MC具有侵袭性，有复发倾向且易发生肺和骨的远处转移，总体预后较差。组织病理学上，它是一种双相性肿瘤，由透明软骨岛和未分化的小圆形细胞组成。在此，我们报告一例累及上颌骨左半侧的MC病例，并对相关文献进行简要综述。
