ABSTRACT

We communicate the case of a 21 year-old man with a nine-month history of progressive right nasal obstruction, frontal headache, hyposmia and swelling in right maxillary region. In the CT scan it was observed a heterogeneous isodensity, occupying the right maxillary sinus with extension into the ipsilateral nostril. Biopsy with neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin and chromogranin) reported myxoid chondrosarcoma. A partial medial maxillectomy with total resection of the lesion was performed. There is not evidence of recurrence after 3-year follow-up. Chondrosarcoma is a rare neoplasm, representing only 0.1% of all malignant tumors that occur in the head and neck. The treatment of choice is surgical resection because this neoplasm does not response to chemo- and radiotherapy. The 5-year survival is 40%.
