Abstract |
Chondrosarcoma of the head and neck is very rare tumor and this incidence was reported to be about 10% of all chondrosarcomas. Maxilla is the most common site of involvement and mandible, paransal sinus, nasal cavity and base of skull in that order.
In general, chondrosarcoma has been known to be radioresistant, however since the Princess Margaret Hospital reported that it was radioresponsive tumor in 1980, the role of radiotherapy has been emphasized in terms of local control, especially in head and neck regions where complete excion is often difficult to achieve.
The authors experienced 4 cases of chondrosarcoma of head and neck among all 29 chondrosarcoma patients from 1971 to 1985. The clinical and pathologic feature of this disease, it's treatment and prognosis were reviewed along with the literatures. |
