두개안면절제술을 시행한 비강내 재발된 연골육종 1례

Chondrosarcoma is a slow growing maligancy rarely encountered in the head and neck, but it is locally aggressive neoplasm with a propency for local recurrence. The prognosis is unfavorable and wide surgical resection is generally recommended for the proper treatment.

In this paper, a case of recurrent chondrosarcoma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, involving the anterior and middle skull base, was treated by craniofacial resection via frontonasomaxillary osteotomy.

We report this case with surgical technique and a review of the literature.
