  • Look Inside

1) Intracranial and calvarial chondromas have been rarely reported. They usually have appeared to arise from the synchondrosis of the base of the skull.

A 24 year-old male was admitted to our clinic on June 24, 1970, because of disturbance of cons-ciousness. Physical examinations were as followed ; dehydration, semicomatose state, left hemiparesis with pathologic relexes, anisocoria (rt<lt), absent of left light reflex without chocked disc. The find-ings on endocrinological examinations revealed general dysfunction of diencephalo-hypophyseal system, adrenal and sexual glands.

Plain craniogram showed definite calcification inthe suprasellar region (2.5 × 2.0cm in size) with-out destruction of the anterior and posterior clinoid processes and clivus. Carotid and vertebral angio-graphies revealed a space-occupying lesion in the supra-and parasellar regions from the base of the skull.

A bifrontal craniotomy was performed on July 6, 1970. A hard nodular tumor was observed in the chiasmal region, extending posteriorly to the interpeduncular fossa. Partial removal of the tumor was followed by radiotherapy of 60Co.

2) At autopsy, a large tumor (5 × 4 × 5cm in size) was found in the base of the brain without involv-ing the dura and synchondrosis of the base of theskull. It was bony in consistencty and well de-marcated with circumscribed parts of brownish appearance. The bony portion of the tumor showed histologically feature of benign chondroma with myxoid degeneration in a part and the circums-cribed portions contained fibroma.

3) Cartilaginous tumors arising from the intra-cranial structures are of rare occurrence. It appears that our case originates from residual nests of embryonic cartilaginous tissue of the base of the brain. The origin and nature of this tumor were discussed.
