Abstract

The presenting features and management of three cases of chondroma and one of chondrosarcoma in different head and neck sites are described. The rarity of this tumour is emphasized by a brief review of the literature. The fact that all the above cases presented within two years to one District General Hospital makes this series very unusual indeed.
