Abstract

Chondroblastoma is a benign primary bone tumor that typically develops in the epiphyses of long bones. Chondroblastoma of the craniofacial skeleton is extremely rare, with most cases occurring in the squamosal portion of the temporal bone. In this report, we describe a case of chondroblastoma of the nasal cavity presenting with a left sided nasal mass which was excised with open approach. We review the literature on craniofacial chondroblastomas with particular emphasis on sinonasal lesions.
