Abstract

Chondrosarcomas are malignant tumors of cartilaginous origin with only 5-10% reported in the head and neck region. Intraorally it has higher incidence of occurrence in anterior maxilla followed by posterior mandible. The 5-year survival and metastases rates are adversely affected by the grade of tumor, which necessitates its early diagnosis. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are vital for its accurate diagnosis. Chondrosarcomas being radio-and chemoresistant are treated surgically although adjuvant radiotherapy helps in prevention of local recurrences. A case of high-grade chondrosarcoma of the mandibular molar region is presented, along with pertinent review of literature.
