Abstract
Chondrosarcoma is a highly destructive malignant tumor of cartilaginous, bone and mesenchymal origin. Its localization in the head and neck is rare while localization in the nasal sinus site is even rarer. Only about 20 such cases have been reported in the literature, and they were located in the maxillary and sphenoidal sinuses. Its clinical presentation is non-specific. It poses a therapeutic problem because of its location at the base of the skull. We hereby present a case of grade II chondrosarcoma of shenoid sinus. The aim of our work is to describe the epidemiological, clinical, radiological and anatomopathological profile as well as the therapeutic management of this pathological entity through a review of the literature.
