A woman in her 70s reported to the outpatient department of our tertiary care hospital with chief complaints of painless swelling in the right cheek and palatal area. The patient was a known case of diabetes mellitus and hypertension on medications with controlled sugars and blood pressure. The swelling was 10×8 cm in size extending from right infraorbital region up to the lower mandible. CT demonstrated a permeative lytic pattern of bone destruction noted involving the hard palate and maxillary bone.Using the Weber Ferguson approach, a surgical resection was carried out under general anaesthesia. Resection included from right total maxillectomy (excluding roof of maxilla), nasal septum up to left medial maxillectomy including hard palate and the tumour was resected en bloc. The palatal obturator was fixed. On the basis of histopathology, grade 1 well-differentiated chondrosarcoma was diagnosed. The patient received postoperative radiotherapy and had a good recovery. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2023. No commercial re-use. See rights and permissions. Published by BMJ.
