Abstract
Background: Chondrosarcomas are slow-growing malignant tumors that originate in cartilaginous structures. They typically manifest in the head and neck region, with a preference for the maxillofacial skeleton, particularly the mandible and maxilla. However, chondrosarcoma of the sinonasal tract is exceptionally rare, and only few cases have been reported. Case Presentation: This report details the case of a 43-year-old woman who incidentally discovered chondrosarcoma in the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses with nasal extension. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgery via a paralatero-nasal approach with adjuvant radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical findings, management, and outcome of sinonasal tract chondrosarcoma. Conclusions: The primary treatment for chondrosarcomas remains surgery, with a transnasal endoscopic approach offering a viable option for complete resection in select cases.
