| Popis: | A chondrosarcoma is infrequently encounted in the head and neck region and is more uncommon in the nasal septum. A review of the Japanese and English literature showed only 57 reported cases.We report here a case of chondrosarcoma which arised from the nasal septum of a 62 year-old woman. The patient visited our hospital complaining of a nasal obstruction of 12 months' duration. A rhinoscopic examination revealed that both nasal cavities were almost completely obstructed by a bulged nasal septum. A CT scan showed a mass with mottled calcification in the nasal cavity. Surgery was performed and the histological diagnosis was a chondrosarcoma (grade II ). Re-excision was performed because the surgical margin was positive. The tumor was completely resected and the patient has remained free of disease three years after surgery. |
