title: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma: a case report.
abstract: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor distinctly different from the more common chondrosarcoma. It shows a predilection for the head and neck in both osseous and extraosseous forms. The prognosis for cure is poor, with a high incidence of local recurrence as well as regional and distant metastasis. Treatment is based on radical surgical excision, although combination chemo-therapy has recently shown promise. Additional experience with this tumor is required to define the most efficacious form of treatment.
