    Author: Zhan RY, Pan XF, Wan S, Lan P, Zhang YC, Weng NC, Yan M, Zhou YQ.
    Journal: J Int Med Res; 2011; 39(2):675-81. PubMed ID: 21672374.
    Abstract:
    Intracranial chondromas are rare, benign cartilaginous tumours that account for < 0.3% of primary intracranial tumours. They usually originate from the basal synchondrosis and are extradural though, extremely rarely, they can be intracerebral. Here the case of a 45-year old female is presented with a solitary intracerebral chondroma located in the right frontal lobe with no meningeal attachment. The epidemiology, aetiology, clinical behaviour, radiological features, histological features and treatment of the case are discussed with a review of previous cases reported in the literature.
