Abstract

A case report of a 32-year-old female with a massive chondrosarcoma is presented. The tumor involved the neck, shoulder and chest. A multidisciplinary approach involving an otolaryngologist, orthopedic surgeon and thoracic surgeon with their respective teams is shown to be efficacious in dealing with this difficult problem.
