โฆ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Primary chondrosarcoma of the head and neck in the pediatric age group is rare. The literature contains several single cases and small series; however, to the authors' knowledge, there has been no previous comprehensive larger study to evaluate the clinicopathologic aspects of these tumors.
METHODS. Fourteen cases
of chondrosarcoma of the head and neck from patients age 18 years or younger, diagnosed between 1970 and 1997, were retrieved from the Otorhinolaryngic-Head & Neck Tumor Registry of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. No secondary sarcomas (radiation-induced or arising in the context of Maffucci disease or Ollier disease) were included. Clinical, radiographic, and histologic features were reviewed and patient follow-up obtained.
