Abstract

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a subtype of chondrosarcoma which is rarely encountered in the clinical practice. It carries a worse prognosis compared to other forms of chondrosarcoma as it has a high tendency to metastasize to other sites.1 It can arise from skeletal bone as well as soft tissue, the usual sites being the ribs and jaw.2 Histologically, it is characterized by a mix of cartilage and undifferentiated stromal tissue, which will be highly positive for S100. A survey done concluded that it commonly affects patients in their second or third decade of life.3 We will discuss a rare case of MC which presented to our center where the initial biopsy was reported as hemangiopericytoma (HPC) of nose. The tumour was excised using endoscopic assisted craniofacial resection (EACFR). A multidisciplinary team comprising of various specialties was involved in diagnosing and managing the patient.
