Abstract:
The vast majority of intracranial chondromas are located in the base of the cranium. Their presentation as an intracerebral neoplasm is considered to be extremely rare. A previously healthy 45-year-old man experienced recurrent seizure attacks over a period of 6 months. Imaging studies of the brain revealed an ovoid and calcified mass which involve the cortex in the left frontal lobe. Intraoperatively, the mass had no adhesion to the dura and arachnoid membrane. The tumor was completely removed and the final diagnosis was intracerebral chondroma. The patient remained free of disease over the period of 18-years follow-up. This communication adds an unusual case to the literature on the chondroma that expressed in the form of an intra-axial space-occupying lesion in the frontal lobe.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
