A case of peripheral chondrosarcoma of the mandible

Abstract

Peripheral chondrosarcoma is a rare tumor of the jaws. We presented a case of peripheral chondrosarcoma arising from the surface of the mandible.
The patient was a 32-year-old man, complaining of swelling of the gingiva in the right molar region of the mandible. The histopathological diagnosis was peripheral chondrosarcoma.
The segmental resection of the mandible and the radical neck Bisection were performed in the patient under general anesthesia. After the operation, adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Adriamycin and Cisplatin was given to the patient.
There has been no evidence of recurrence or metastasis in the patient 6 years after the operation.
