Background:

Dural chondrosarcoma is an exceptionally rare intracranial tumor due to the absence of cartilaginous tissue in the meninges.
Presents a unique case of primary extraosseous dural chondrosarcoma.

Observation:

A 48-year-old woman experienced progressive headache, vomiting, vertigo, and gait instability.
Imaging revealed a large parietal mass with calcifications and hyperostosis on CT, and a heterogeneous, honey-comb enhancing lesion on MRI.
Initial differential diagnoses included meningioma, solitary fibrous tumor-hemangiopericytoma, and dural metastasis.

Findings:

Surgical resection confirmed an extra-axial origin.
Pathological examination definitively diagnosed a primary dural chondrosarcoma.

Implications:

This case underscores the necessity of considering rare pathologies, even with atypical imaging features.
Highlights the importance of comprehensive differential diagnosis in neurosurgical oncology.
Emphasizes the value of detailed histopathological analysis for accurate tumor classification.
