Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1997 Jun;26(3):210-1. doi: 10.1016/s0901-5027(97)80821-1.

Abstract

A case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the maxilla is reported. This rare tumour is characterized by slow growth, late metastasis (up to 20 years after first presentation) and poor prognosis. The diagnosis is often difficult to make because of the low incidence among malignant bone tumours.
