Nasal chondromas and nasal atypical cartilaginous tumors (or chondrosarcoma grade 1) are very rare chondrogenic tumors. Approximately 150 cases of nasal chondroma and fewer than 50 cases of nasal atypical cartilaginous tumors have been described. We reported a case with nasal chondroma in the right ethmoid area and a case with a nasal atypical cartilaginous tumor of the anterior septum. No chondroma recurrence was noted for 17 years after endoscopic resection. Recurrence was noted for the nasal atypical cartilaginous tumor 36 months after wide surgical excision via midfacial degloving. Revision surgery was performed again via midfacial degloving. Recurrences of nasal chondroma and atypical cartilaginous tumors are extremely rare. The current data indicate adequate surgical excision, in some cases even radical, as the most important parameter to avoid recurrence. For inoperable recurrent cases of atypical cartilaginous tumors, observation may be followed.
鼻腔软骨瘤和鼻腔非典型软骨性肿瘤（或软骨肉瘤 1 级）是非常罕见的软骨源性肿瘤。大约有 150 例鼻腔软骨瘤和不到 50 例鼻腔非典型软骨性肿瘤的报道。我们报告了 1 例右侧筛窦的鼻腔软骨瘤和 1 例前鼻中隔的鼻腔非典型软骨性肿瘤。内镜切除后 17 年无软骨瘤复发。广泛经面部脱套手术切除后 36 个月，非典型软骨性肿瘤复发。再次通过面部脱套手术进行了修正手术。鼻腔软骨瘤和非典型软骨性肿瘤的复发极为罕见。目前的数据表明，充分的手术切除，在某些情况下甚至是根治性的，是避免复发的最重要参数。对于无法手术的复发性非典型软骨性肿瘤病例，可以进行观察。
