D. Lacerte et al., INTRACRANIAL CHONDROMA - REPORT OF 2 CASES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE, Canadian journal of neurological sciences, 23(2), 1996, pp. 132-137
Introduction: Chondromas are rare intracranial tumors. The authors pre
sent two cases of intracranial intradural chondroma, one originating f
rom the falx cerebri and the other from the dura mater of the convexit
y. Method and Results: Diagnostic procedures, including magnetic reson
ance imaging, and surgical findings are described. In both cases, pre-
operative diagnosis could have been at least suspected, and the tumor
was completely removed, without recurrence after a follow-up of many y
ears. The pathogenesis and pathological findings are discussed, and ca
ses from the literature are reviewed. Conclusion: Benign intradural ch
ondroma has a good prognosis, with no recurrence after surgical excisi
on in most cases.
