Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the maxilla.
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a rare tumour, with a predilection for the head and neck region. We describe a case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising in the right maxilla extending to the basi-sphenoid. Its computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathological features and the management are presented. We also reviewed the literature of reported cases involving the maxilla.
