Introducion. Intracranial chondroma is a very rare, slow growing, benign cartilaginous tumor that arises usually from the base of the scull. Chondroma located at the falx is extremely rare. According to our best knowledge 15 cases of falx chondromas have been reported in the literature. Cas...

description |
Introducion. Intracranial chondroma is a very rare, slow growing, benign
cartilaginous tumor that arises usually from the base of the scull. Chondroma
located at the falx is extremely rare. According to our best knowledge 15
cases of falx chondromas have been reported in the literature. Case Outline.
This is the first case report of falx chondroma located in the parietal area
associated with hyperostosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain
revealed a 3Ч4Ч4 cm solid, calcified, ring-shaped, well-defined tumor at the
posterior falx. The patient underwent surgery and complete resection was
performed. Histological examination confirmed chondroma of the falx.
Postoperative CT scan showed no residual of tumor and the patient was
discharged. Conclusion. The long-term prognosis is good after a total
excision of the tumor. Awareness of this rare pathology in the differential
diagnosis of falx mass could facilitate the diagnosis. |
