18-year-old woman with a dural mass

Brain Pathol. 2013 Jan;23(1):113-6. doi: 10.1111/bpa.12012.

Abstract

We report a case of a dural-based chondroma in the right frontal extra-axial region. Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors which are uncommon intracranially. Their diagnosis should be predicated on the exclusion of a chondrosarcoma and clinical studies should be performed to rule out any underlying tumor predisposition syndromes.
