Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas (MC) are rare and aggressive forms of chondrosarcoma. They are distinct tumors arising in unicentric or multicentric locations from both skeletal and extraskeletal tissues. The most affected region is the facial skeleton, especially the jaws. In this report, we present a case of MC primarily involving the mandible in a 60-year-old female patient.

Introduction: Sarcomas are relatively rare malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin, representing only about 1% of tumors in the head and neck region.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study involved patients with sarcomas of the head and neck region who were diagnosed and treated over a 5-year period.
Results: Nine patients were included, 4 men and 5 women.

Chondrosarcomas (CHS) constitute approximately 20% of all primary malignant bone tumors, characterized by a slow growth rate with initial manifestation of few signs and symptoms. These malignant cartilaginous neoplasms, particularly those with dedifferentiated histological subtypes, pose significant therapeutic challenges, as they exhibit high resistance to both radiation and chemotherapy. Ranging from relatively benign, low-grade tumors (grade I) to aggressive high-grade tumors with the potential for lung metastases and a grim prognosis, there is a critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, particularly for patients with more aggressive forms.

Purpose: Chordomas are malignant tumors of the axial spine and skull base, and they are notorious for their poor treatment response. Differentiating these tumors from comparatively less malignant chondrosarcomas is crucial for treatment and prognostication. Both tumor types differ in their developmental origin.
