Abstract
Intracranial chondromas are a rarity and their preoperative diagnosis based on neuroimaging is difficult. In young patients and those with skeletal disease, the differential diagnosis of a chondroma should be considered. In symptomatic patients, operative resection is sensible. In most cases total removal of the tumor is possible and leads to full recovery. When the finding is merely incidental in older patients, a watchful waiting approach is acceptable, given the benign and slow-growing nature of the lesion.
