Introduction: Chordoma is a rare, slow-growing notochordal neoplasm typical of adults. Less than 5% of the cases occur in children, where they are located at the skull base. Treatment involves surgical resection with or without radiotherapy.

Purpose: Recurrent diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor: Clinical presentation, Diagnosis, and Management.
Background: Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT), is a neoplasm arising from synovial joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths. The initial clinical symptoms are vague and non-diagnostic.

Skull base tumors such as meningiomas and schwannomas are often pathologically benign. However, surgery for these tumors poses significant challenges because of their proximity to critical structures such as the brainstem, cerebral arteries, veins, and cranial nerves. These structures are compressed or encased by the tumor as they grow, increasing the risk of unintended injury to these structures, which can potentially lead to severe neurological deficits.

Objective: Tumor consistency, or fibrosity, affects the ability to optimally resect meningiomas, especially with recent trends evolving toward minimally invasive approaches. The authors' team previously validated a practical 5-point scale for intraoperative grading of meningioma consistency. The impact of meningioma consistency on surgical management and outcomes, however, has yet to be explored.

Background: Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor. This single-center study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological, radiological profile, and outcomes of patients with intracranial meningiomas in terms of functional status, morbidity, mortality, and recurrence-free survival (RFS).
Methods: Patients of intracranial meningioma treated between January 01, 2010, and December 31, 2019, at the Department of Neurosurgery, King George's Medical University, India, were included in this study.
