Abstract

Fifty cases of intracranial and cranial chondrosarcoma were reviewed in the world literature including two of our own. These were analyzed relevant to their histological subgroup, site of origin, age and sex incidence, calcification and vascularity, recurrence, and metastases. The analysis was done in order to clarify points in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of this rare tumour. The mesenchymal subtype is a more malignant form with a higher tendency for recurrence, metastasis, and increased vascularity.
