Chondrosarcomas of the head and neck are extremely rare, accounting for approximatively 0.1% of all head and neck malignant tumors. Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are particularly aggressive, with a high propensity for recurrence.
We report the case of a 25 years old man with no prior medical history, who presented to our facility with an aggressive tumor of the left maxilla. Upon radiologic and histopathological examinations, the tumor was revealed to be a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. The patient was treated using surgical excision of the tumor, neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant radiotherapy.
Due to the high risk of recurrence and the possibility of metastasis occurring long after the initial diagnosis, it is important that patients with mesenchymal chondrosarcomas receive close and regular follow-ups after treatment.
头颈部软骨肉瘤极为罕见，约占所有头颈部恶性肿瘤的0.1%。间叶性软骨肉瘤尤其具有侵袭性，复发倾向高。
我们报告一例25岁男性患者，既往无病史，因左上颌骨侵袭性肿瘤前来我院就诊。经影像学和组织病理学检查，该肿瘤为间叶性软骨肉瘤。患者接受了肿瘤手术切除、新辅助化疗和辅助放疗。
由于复发风险高且在初始诊断后很长时间可能发生转移，间叶性软骨肉瘤患者在治疗后接受密切定期随访很重要。
