CRANIAL AND FIBULA CHONDROSARCOMA:A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Cranial chondrosarcomas were discovered in a 62-year-old female patient who presented with neurological symptoms. CT scan showed a large mass at right temporal fossa, extending to near-by structures and another smaller lesion at left temporal fossa. The masses were invasive and destructive, containing no calcification. T1W MRI study showed low to iso-signal mass and on T2WI, the signal was iso to the gray matter and the contrast enhancement was dense. There was no neovasculature at angiography. Bone survey was later performed after obtaining histology of the mass from craniotomy. The primary lesion was detected at the left fibula with classic appearance of of chondrosarcoma.
