Abstract

Chondrosarcomas of the temporo-mandibular joint are exceptional and have been previously reported in the literature in only seven cases. A case located in the temporal bone with extension in the infratemporal fossa and the cranial base is presented. Treatment consisted in a wide surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy. The patient is alive with a follow-up of more than two years.
