Background: Chondrosarcomas of the sinonasal cavity and skull base are uncommon malignancies. We sought to provide long‐term outcomes at two tertiary care centers. Methods: Patients with chondrosarcoma treated between 2000 and 2021 were included. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease‐specific survival (DSS). Results: Thirty‐eight patients met inclusion criteria. Fourteen patients had sinonasal (36.8%), 7 petroclival (18.4%), and 17 other primary skull base lesions (44.7%). Twenty‐eight patients (73.7%) underwent radiation with an average dose of 67.3 ± 15.1 Gy. Eighteen patients (47.4%) required revision surgery for recurrence. 1, 5, and 10‐year OS were 97.3%, 93.1%, and 74.7%. DSS at 5‐ and 10‐year survival was 95.7%. Adjuvant radiation was associated with improved OS (HR: 0.12; 95% CI: 0.02–0.75, p = 0.023). Conclusion: We present our experience over the last 20 years treating chondrosarcomas. Favorable survival outcomes can be achieved but recurrence requiring repeat resection is common. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
