  • Title: Intradural suprasellar chondroid chordoma.
    Author: Jiagang L, Yanhui L, Xueying S, Qing M.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2010 Mar; 17(3):402-3. PubMed ID: 20074956.
    Abstract:
    We report a 51-year-old man with an unusual intradural suprasellar chondroid chordoma. He presented with headache and diminution of vision in both eyes. MRI demonstrated the suprasellar tumor as an isointense mass with heterogeneous enhancement after intravenous administration of contrast agent. There was neither bony nor dural association, and gross-total removal of the mass was performed using a left extended pterional approach. Based on the histological characteristics of the tumor, which was composed of typical chordoma cells and islands of chondroid elements, we diagnosed a chondroid chordoma. We believe this is the first report of an entirely intradural chondroid chordoma on the suprasellar region. Clinical, radiological, and pathological features of the tumor are described.
