J Neurosci Rural Pract. 2017 Aug;8(Suppl 1):S130-S132. doi: 10.4103/jnrp.jnrp_490_16.

Abstract

Parasellar chondrosarcoma is rare slowly growing intracranial tumors. A correct diagnosis of these tumors is challenging for clinician due to overlapping location and simulation of clinical presentations with much common pituitary adenomas. We are reporting three young patients diagnosed to have parasellar chondrosarcoma highlighting the pathological features of importance required for confirm diagnosis.
