Abstract
Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma presenting in the head and neck is extremely rare. Histologic diagnosis is difficult and close co-operation among clinician, radiologist and pathologist is recommended. The tumour has a better prognosis than myxoid chondrosarcoma of the bone but surgical resection may be difficult due to its gelatinous nature. We present a case of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma originating in the left nasal cavity of a 35-year-old woman.Entities:
