Chondrosarcoma is a rare malignancy composed of transformed cells of cartilage. This cancer is characterized by slow growth. Almost 75% of intracranial chondrosarcomas are observed on the skull base and grow from bone synchondrosis. Other rarer localizations of tumor are cerebral falx, tentorium cerebelli, vascular plexuses of the ventricles, fourth ventricle, convexital surface of the brain, etc. In this manuscript, we report treatment of patient with falcine chondrosarcoma.

Intracranial chondrosarcomas are rare malignant lesions. Both skull base and dural-based extraosseous chondrosarcomas have been reported to occur intracranially. Dural-based chondrosarcomas arising from the falx cerebri are rare lesions with only 19 cases reported till date.

Background: Primary intracranial chondrosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the central nervous system, which accounts for <0.16% of all primary intracranial tumors. This rare tumor has a high associated morbidity from the tumor itself as well as from treatment modalities.

Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignancy of bone after osteosarcoma. Cranial primary chondrosarcomas mostly originate from the skull base cartilage formation zones. Parasagittal falcine origin is very rare for primary extra-skeletal intracranial chondrosarcomas.

Background: Intracranial extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcomas (MCSs) are rare tumors accounting for <0.16% of intracranial tumors. They are usually described as occurring in the age group of 20-30 years and are commonly found in the frontoparietal region arising from the falx and surrounding dura.
