ABSTRACT

Intracranial chondromas are rare tumors that generally arise from the skull base or at the sphenoid-ethmoidal region. In these sites chondromas may be misdiagnosed as meningiomas, neurinomas or craniopharyngiomas. The authors present the clinical and radiological findings of a patient who underwent surgery for excision of a sella turcica chondroma.

Keywords: Intracranial chondroma. Sella turcica. Hypopituitarism. Computed tomography. Magnetic resonance imaging.
