“…Su aparición en cabeza y cuello es de tan solo el 1%-12% de los casos 1 , siendo, en estas localizaciones, más frecuente en la base del cráneo, cavidad nasal, maxilar, mandíbula y esqueleto laríngeo 2,3 . La aparición de un condrosarcoma en el hueso hioides es extremadamente rara aunque deben tenerse en cuenta como diagnóstico diferencial de una masa submandibular 4 .…”

Los condrosarcomas son cánceres realmente infrecuentes en cabeza y cuello, y más aún en el hueso hioides. Por lo general, son neoplasias que debutan como una masa cervical sin otra sintomatología. Su diagnóstico requiere de estudios de imagen y su tratamiento es fundamentalmente quirúrgico. Comentamos el caso de un paciente de 57 años, desde el diagnóstico de la lesión hasta su tratamiento y seguimiento, y una revisión bibliográfica de esta patología.

“…No significant gender difference was found in the incidence of chondrosarcoma [3]. Chondrosarcomas mostly develop in the skeletal area: pelvis, femur, proximal humerus, or rib bones [4]. It is a rare disease in the head and neck region and represents about 0.1% of developing malignancies in these regions [5].…”

We describe a case of a 31-year-old woman with a chondrosarcoma of the hyoid bone. The patient presented with a mass in the left submandibular region. Fine-needle aspiration cytology suggested chondroma, but further imaging investigation with CT revealed an exophytic tumor originating from the body of the hyoid bone. Histopathology of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of a intermediate-grade chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcomas account for 11% of all bone cancers. Primary sites of the head and the neck include the nasal cavity, the skull base, the maxilla, the mandible. Chondrosarcomas of the hyoid bone are very rare, with only 23 cases previously reported in the literature.

Rationale:Chondrosarcoma, characterized by the production of cartilage matrix, is a common bone tumor, accounting for 20% to 27% of all malignant bone tumors. It often occurs in the cartilage of the pelvis, femur, tibia, and humerus. However, chondrosarcoma of the patella is extremely rare.Patient concerns:The present study describes a case of chondrosarcoma affecting the right patella in a 68-year-old woman. The chief complaints were painful swelling and limitation of motion of the right knee for about half a year. The pain was a kind of dull ache. The skin around the right knee was red and hot. Moreover, she had a claudication gait due to the symptoms.Diagnoses:Irregular lytic lesions with ill-defined margins in the patella were determined through computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The diagnosis of primary grade II chondrosarcoma was finally confirmed on the basis of postoperative pathological examination.Interventions:The patient underwent an open surgery named extensive resection of patellar tumor to remove the tumor tissue completely.Outcomes:The patient was discharged without any complications 1 week after the surgery. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient was completely free from pain during daily activities, and normal range of motion of the right knee was achieved. Her gait was normal. There was no evidence of recurrence.Lessons:We believe that an extensive resection is suitable for treating chondrosarcoma to avoid as far as possible local recurrence. An awareness of the potential for chondrosarcoma to present in the patella is crucial for both orthopedic surgeons and radiologists when confronted with similar cases. Besides, as reports of chondrosarcoma of the patella are rare, this study adds a better understanding of this rare condition to the medical literature.
