Less than 100 chondrosarcomas originating in the facial skeleton have been reported. Information regarding chondrosarcomas in the facial region is fragmentary. The largest series collected transcend a long period of time containing changes in surgical technique and philosophy. Precedence for therapy and prognostic information is not readily available. Three patients with facial chondrosarcomas are reported. All were diagnosed within a four‐year time span. The aforementioned adequately depict the protean manifestations of this tumor and the aggressive therapy required. Correlation is made with the existing body of information regarding this entity.
