INTRACRANIAL EXTRA-SKELETAL MESENCHYMAL CHONDROSARCOMA
Abstract
Intracranial Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma is a very rare and uncommon entity that affects youngadults. We came across one such patient who presented with severe headache and intermittent
nausea and vomiting. The clinical, radiological preoperative diagnosis was a meningioma, on
histological examination it turned out to be mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of tentorial region in
posterior fossa, uncommon site for this entity.
