Background: Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors that are rarely seen in the brain.

Chondroma of the dural convexity (CDC) is a benign and extremely rare type of intracranial chondroma. In this study, we reported five CDCs in a single center and reviewed the available literature to determine the clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes and possible origins of the disease. The clinical data of five patients (4 females) who confirmed to be CDC between 2000 and 2019 in our single center was collected together with 22 cases from literatures.

We here report a rare case of falcine chondroma in a 19-year-old man who had normal physical examination without signs of any syndromic disorder.
