  • Title: Hemorrhagic chondroid chordoma mimicking pituitary apoplexy.
    Author: Lee HJ, Kalnin AJ, Holodny AI, Schulder M, Grigorian A, Sharer LR.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1998 Nov; 40(11):720-3. PubMed ID: 9860121.
    Abstract:
    We describe a hemorrhagic chondroid chordoma involving the sella turcica with suprasellar extension. The CT and MRI appearances mimiked a hemorrhagic pituitary adenoma. Chondroid chordoma is a variant composed of elements of both chordoma and cartilaginous tissue. An uncommon bone neoplasm, located almost exclusively in the spheno-occipital region, it is usually not considered in the differential diagnosis of a tumor with acute hemorrhage in the sellar region. We discuss the clinical and radiological characteristics which may allow one to differentiate chondroid chordoma from other tumors of this area.
