Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor that arises from cartilage. In the maxillary area, the tumors spread locally but may also invade blood vessels and metastasize systemically. Initial surgical resection is the treatment of choice.

[Digital image processing of radiography of 32 cases with mandible sarcomas].

The radiographys of 32 cases with mandible sarcoma were analysed with digital image processing. The processed image of fibrosarcoma showed many scattered fine grains after the X-ray film were edge detected. In the same processing, the image of chondrosarcoma showed many little rings or arc structures. For osteosarcoma, the processed image showed very irregular veins. These digital processing pictures can help us to differentiate mandible sarcomas.

Chondrosarcoma of the larynx.

A chondrosarcoma arising in the posterior cricoid plate is presented. The tumour gave rise to increasing inspiratory stridor: laryngectomy was performed. The tumour consisted of loose cartilaginous tissue with great predominance of highly differentiated cartilage cells and only small areas with nuclear polymorphism. This complicated the differential diagnosis between chondroma and highly differentiated chondrosarcoma. From the fact that the patient died from massive pulmonary metastases 3 1/2 years later, it is evident that the degree of malignancy of cartilaginous tumours should be determined even on small polymorphic foci. The DNA histogram for the foci of the laryngeal tumour with atypia differed distinctly from those for benign chondroma and normal cartilage, but resembled those of the pulmonary and splenic metastases and of a nasal chondrosarcoma. Photometric examination may provide an aid in the difficult differential diagnosis between chondroma and highly differentiated chondrosarcoma.
