“…Although in most cases the chondroma will follow a benign course, there is a report of intratumoral and subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with a clival chondroma. 16 Although Maheshwari et al previously mentioned a relationship between Maffucci syndrome and a malignant transformation of a chondroma, 17 we could not find this association in the referred article. 18 Actually van Nielen and de Jong mentioned a malignant transformation of a low-grade glioma in a patient with Maffucci syndrome.…”

Chondroma of the Cerebral Falx: Case Report of a Very Rare Intracranial Tumor

et al. 2015

Chondromas are a benign cartilaginous tumor that account for approximately 0.5% of primary intracranial tumors. They usually arise from the synchondrosis of the skull base, being rarely reported elsewhere (dura convexity, falx, or even intraparenchymal). Because they are very rare tumors sharing clinical behavior and imagiological similarities with the much more common meningioma, the clinical diagnosis is frequently mistaken after an initial imaging workup. The authors present a case of a 48-year-old woman, with frequent headaches and an extra-axial tumor arising from the anterior falx, initially diagnosed as a meningioma.

“…Intracranial chondroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor, with an incidence of less than 1% of all primary intracranial tumors. 1 Clival enchondromas usually presents with multiple cranial nerve palsies including cranial nerve V, 2 which may account for the hemifacial pain in our patient. The biological behaviour of enchondromas is unpredictable, and differentiating benign enchondroma from grade I chondrosarcoma is difficult.…”

“…Intracranial chondroma is a very rare benign cartilaginous tumor with estimated incidence of 0.2% to 0.3% . It mainly arises from the skull base, where it originates from spheno‐petrosal, spheno‐occipital as well as petro‐occipital synchondroses, and seldomly arises from the falx, the dural convexity, or the choroid plexus .…”

Chondroma is a benign cartilage-forming tumor which usually occurs in small bones of extremities but occasionally occurs in the brain. Usually, intracranial chondromas originate from skull base; however, chondroma of the falx cerebri is a very rare condition. We here report a rare case of falcine chondroma in a 19-year-old man who had normal physical examination without signs of any syndromic disorder. The neuroimaging findings were inconclusive, and the diagnosis was based on histopathological examination. The purpose of this paper is to raise attention about intracranial chondromas and suggest that chondroma must be ruled out in any patient presenting with masses arising from the falx.
