Abstract

Intracranial chondroma is a benign tumor arising from the rests of embryonic cartilages in the dura or dural folds, choroid plexus or the brain parenchyma. It is rare intracranially, but when it does occur, it is predominantly located at the skull base. Among the cohort of intracranial chondroma, the para-falcine location is the rarest. We report a challenging diagnosis and successful management of this rare intracranial para-falcine chondroma in a 53-year-old female patient.
