Chondrosarcoma is one of the most common malignant bone tumors in adults. It use to affect upper arm, pelvis and thigh bone. A wide surgical extirpation represent the gold standard to treat this disorder. In fact, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are no useful. Interestingly, chondrosarcoma is rare in head and neck (HNCS) and extremely uncommon during pregnancy. Thus, there is a lack of evidence about the proper treatment in these cases. A wide surgical extirpation is also considered the most effective procedure in HNCS. There are no consistent evidences about the he role of radiation and chemotherapy. In view of that, the present study describes a case of juxtacortical mandibular chondrosarcoma affecting a 28-year-old pregnant woman. After a multidisciplinary analysis of the case, we decided to treat the patient with a wide surgical resection and and immediately reconstruction. Mandibular chondrosarcoma, pregnancy, surgical extirpation, radiotherapy, chemoteraphy.

Objectives: Microvascular free tissue transfer (MVFTT) for head and neck reconstruction is infrequently performed in pediatric patients. There is a paucity of data on perioperative airway management in pediatric MVFTT, such as the need for tracheostomy, which can pose higher morbidity to young patients due to potential long-term effects on the softer, more pliable laryngotracheal cartilage. Our objective was to report airway outcomes on pediatric patients undergoing MVFTT after segmental mandibulectomy with or without tracheostomy.

Chondrosarcomas are a group of malignant neoplasms with cartilaginous matrix production mostly found in flat and peripheral long bones. Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is one of the most unusual and rare histological variants of chondrosarcoma, with a distinct histopathological appearance and biologically aggressive behavior. The amount of cartilage in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma may be so abundant that it is easily found in random sections or so scarce that numerous sections are required to discover it.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the rare occurrence of malignant transformation in craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD), analyzing 305 patients over 18 years.
- Out of these, 15 cases (4.9%) involved malignant changes, predominantly affecting females, with ages at diagnosis and transformation averaging 28.87 and 38.53 years, respectively.
- The most common malignancy was osteosarcoma, and overall survival rates were low, with only 33.3% and 20% surviving at 3 and 5 years.
