Chondrosarcoma of the mandibular condyle in a patient with Werner syndrome: a case report.

[werner syndrome]

Werner syndrome, also called progeria of the adult and pangeria is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects connective tissue throughout the body. It is associated with premature ageing and an increased risk of cancer and other diseases. The mean survival for patients with Werner syndrome is 47 years. Death usually occurs when patients are aged 30-65 years because of atherosclerosis or malignant tumours. The purpose of this paper is to present a patient with Werner syndrome exhibiting a chondrosarcoma of the left temporomandibular joint and ramus. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case, of a Werner syndrome patient with an associated head and neck chondrosarcoma being reported. The diagnostic procedure followed and management of the patient are outlined in the paper as well.
