A Contemporary Surgical Series of Skull Base Chondrosarcomas: A Review of Clinical Characteristics, Surgical Technique, and Patient Outcomes

Abstract

Introduction: The long-term outcome of skull base chondrosarcomas is difficult to assess because of their slow growth and propensity for late recurrence after treatment. We describe our recent surgical experience with chondrosarcomas, through both the lateral transcranial (LTC) and the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA), and examine the long-term outcomes achieved.
