Abstract
Introduction:
Skull base chondrosarcomas are low-grade, malignant tumors arising from cartilage tissue. Intracranial chondrosarcomas are rare tumors comprising only 0.1-0.2% of all brain neoplasms. In skull base 2 out of 4 pathologic subtypes occur: conventional chondrosarcoma and mesenchymal
chondrosarcoma. Although distant metastases are rare, tumors often invade surrounding bone and compress critical anatomical structures including internal carotid artery or cranial nerves. Treatment involves surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy. Endoscopic transnasal surgery (ETS) gives the most
direct approach to the tumor in this region.
