Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is an uncommon neoplasm originated from cartilage cells. This occurs less than 10% in the head and neck region. Chondrosarcoma of the condyle affects mainly women. The most common symptom is swelling in the preaucricular region, limited mouth opening and pain on chewing. This report describes a case of chondrosarcoma, which occurred in the mandibular condyle.
