Chondromas of the falx cerebri and dural convexity: report of two cases and review of the literature

J Neurooncol. 2006 Oct;80(1):21-5. doi: 10.1007/s11060-005-9082-0.

Abstract

Intracranial chondromas usually arise from the base of the skull. They rarely originate from the convexity dura and falx. Here we describe two cases of intracranial chondroma located at the convexity dura and falx, discuss the genesis, radiologic, histologic features and review the literature.
