Published: April 2006

The pathologic features of a nasal chondrosarcoma, a rare tumor of bovines, in a Simmental cow are described. Upon clinical examination, stertor, difficulty in breathing, poor body condition, and a nasal mass were found. Histopathologic examination revealed that the mass was composed mostly of numerous cartilaginous lobules surrounded by spindle-shaped cells, often showing mitotic figures, atypical chondrocytes, and lacunae containing 2 or more cells. On the basis of the histological features, the mass was diagnosed as a nasal chondrosarcoma.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the demographics and treatment outcomes of head and neck sarcomas in Brazil, analyzing data from 47 patients primarily diagnosed at a university medical center.
  • - Most patients were middle-aged men, with chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma being the most common types; surgical excision was the primary treatment, and many maintained a disease-free state over time.
  • - Key findings indicate that longer times to diagnosis (over 6 months) and the presence of metastases significantly reduced survival rates, with male gender linked to higher recurrence risk.
