  • Title: Chondroma of the falx cerebri: A case report and review of literature.
    Author: Elhakeem AAS, Essa AA, Soliman RK.
    Journal: Neuropathology; 2019 Dec; 39(6):461-466. PubMed ID: 31584218.
    Abstract:
    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.
