    <abstract locale="en_US">Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma as an aggressive type of chondrosarcoma shows a characteristic 
biphasic histopathologic pattern. The head and neck region is included a high proportion of extra 
skeletal sites. Very rare examples of Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma involving the mandible have 
been described. Based on fragmented or tiny specimens, the diagnosis of this lesion has been remained 
a challenge because the specimens may contain only one of the two neoplastic elements. 
We report a rare case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the mandible in a 19 years old male with 
delaying in diagnosis due to massive extension of the tumor to the soft tissues.
