Mandibular Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma: A Rare Case Presentation

Abstract

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) is one of the most unusual and rare malignant cartilaginous

tumors accounting for less than 2% of all chondrosarcoma. They are aggressive tumours arising in

unicentric or multicentric locations from both skeletal and extraskeletal tissues. They are associated

with high metastatic and recurrence potential with poor survival. Among the facial skeletal region,

jaws are most commonly involved with more preference to maxilla than mandible. In this case report,

we describe a rare case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma involving the mandible in 64‐year‐old

women with detailed literature review of MCS.
