Chondrosarcoma of the nasal septum is an extremely rare malignant tumor. It accounts for only 10% to 20% of primary bone tumors, with approximately 10% found in the head and neck. A case is presented here to illustrate its presentation, evaluation and surgical treatment.
We report two cases of large chest wall primary chondrosarcoma, one of the sternum and the other of the lateral chest wall. Both were treated by radical resection and reconstruction using marlex mesh and methyl methacrylate "sandwich" prosthesis and pedicled latissiumus dorsi flap.
Primary bone tumours, even in very advanced stages, rarely exhibit transarticular spread. We present a case of chondrosarcoma of the ilium with destruction of the sacroiliac joint, the ipsilateral sacral ala and with sacral nerve involvement.
