CLINICAL PROFILE
13. LITERATURE REVIEW AND DISCUSSION
Primary intracranial chondro sarcoma constitutes only 0.16% of all intracranial
tumors. Primary Intracranial chondrosarcomas are of three variants: Classical,
mesenchymal and myxoid. Classical is graded as I, II, III.
Chondrosarcomas commonly arise from the skullbase. Extraskeletal
chondrosarcomas of dural origin are rare and only 53 cases have been
reported till date.
Primary intraparenchymal chondrosarcoma—only 4 cases reported
Brain Metastasis is exceedingly rare with only 12 reported cases.
Treatment with chemo- and radiotherapy has resulted
in poor results
Once BM is diagnosed, it is usually treated with excisional surgery
More recently, GKSRS has shown promise to be an
effective modality with long-term survival and improvement
in quality of life.
