Abstract

We report a case of primary chondroblastoma presenting as a submucosal lump on the nasal bridge of a 15-yearold female. The lesion was curetted and the patient remains well after one year follow-up. This case report describes a primary chondroblastoma arising in an unusual site and in an unusual age group.
