Primary Intracerebral Classical Chondrosarcoma: Case Report

Abstract

Chondrosarcomas where located intracerebral space are very rare malignant that produce malignant cartilage and slow-growing. Intracerebral chondrosarcoma was first reported in 1899 and the chondrosarcoma constitutes 0.15% of all cranial tumors. These tumors usually originating from the skull base and compression of local structures. From a histological point of view, chondrosarcomas are classified into three groups as grade 1 well-differentiated (classical type), grade 2 intermediate (myxoid type), and grade 3 (mesenchymal type). We report a case; which the tumor originated from parasagittal region presentation. In the literature, there are only 3 reported cases of primary intracerebral chondrosarcoma. We suggest that chondrosarcoma treatment of radical surgery is the gold standard for reducing the recurrence rate.
