Vomeric Chondrosarcoma: A Case Report of a Rare Entity With CT and MRI Findings

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Chondrosarcoma of the vomer is an exceptionally rare malignant tumor of cartilaginous origin within the sinonasal region. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis can often be challenging, and imaging features may overlap with other cartilaginous or bone lesions. We describe a case of a patient presenting with progressive right-sided epiphora, in whom radiologic and histologic correlation confirmed the diagnosis of vomeric chondrosarcoma. This report highlights the complementary role of CT and MRI in defining tumor extent and guiding surgical management.
