Abstract
Intracranial chondroma is a rare pathology with the occurrence of 0.1 % to 0.5 % of all primary intracranial tumours. The mechanism of tumour formation outside cartilaginous tissue is controversial. The majority of data point at a very diverse cellular composition of the Dura mater and the tumour may emerge as a result of fi broblast activation. Frequently, the tumour is a manifestation of multiple enchodromatosis (Ollier’s disease) or Maff ucci syndrome. Clinical manifestations of the disease are unspecifi c and generalised. Diff erential diagnosis of the tumour is complicated due to the absence of pathognomonic neurovisualisation characteristics. Th erefore, it is only possible to verify the diagnosis via pathomorphological examination. Chondroma is a benign neoplasm and its complete resection is essential for the positive outcome and longer life duration of the patients. Th e article presents a clinical case of successful surgical treatment of a patient with intracranial chondroma of falxcerebri.
