Non-skull-base intracranial chondrosarcomas are rare, with falcine chondrosarcomas being exceptionally uncommon. This case highlights diagnostic imaging features and surgical management for these challenging brain tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Non-skull-base intracranial chondrosarcomas are exceedingly rare.
  • Falcine chondrosarcomas, specifically, represent a distinct subtype with limited reported cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of a classic falcine chondrosarcoma.
  • To review radiological diagnostic features for pre-operative identification.
  • To discuss adjuvant treatment strategies for intracranial chondrosarcomas.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 32-year-old female with progressive neurological deficits.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for mass characterization and localization.
  • Surgical resection via left fronto-parietal craniotomy.

Main Results:

  • A large (4.9 x 4.3 x 2.7 cm) irregular parasagittal mass involving the falx was identified.
  • Gross total excision of the tumor was successfully achieved.
  • The tumor was consistent with a falcine chondrosarcoma.

Conclusions:

  • Intracranial chondrosarcomas above the skull base are often mesenchymal.
  • Falcine chondrosarcomas require surgical intervention.
  • Adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated for incompletely excised lesions.
