Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is one of the non-epithelial tumors. We know that a sphenoid sinus is an infrequent place for tumor occurrence. Here we tell a 50-year-old female presenting with progressive nasal obstruction. We describe Grade 1 chondrosarcoma involving sphenoid sinus and posterior side of the septum. We resected the tumor using an endoscopic transnasal approach. The mainstay treatment of chondrosarcomas is wide surgical excision.

Keywords: Chondrosarcoma; Tumors; Sphenoid Sinus
