A rare case of Maffucci's syndrome with intracranial chondroma was reported and the literature reviewed. A 16-year-old female high-school student was reffered to our service with 2 month history of diplopia and headache. She had been noticed to have multiple subcutaneous blueish nodules in the lower extremities and multiple body deformities in the four extremities since 6 months old. A biopsy of a skin lesion revealed cavernous hemangioma with calcified thrombi. Another biopsy from the deformed right femur showed it to be enchondroma. Skull series, carotid and vertebral arteriographies, and CT scan revealed a left parasellar mass, which had brought her sensory impairment of the left V1 and the left abducens palsy. The biopsy of the extradural mass in the medial portion of the left middle fossa proved it to be chondroma identical with the right femur lesion. So far as one year postoperative follow-up, she has been doing well with the postoperative sequela of mild left oculomotor paresis, having no evidence of malignant degeneration.

A rare case of falcine chondroma in a 25-year-old woman with an 8-year history of headache and a recent generalized seizure is presented. Microscopic examination of the resected tumor revealed that it was a falcine chondroma with chondrocytes and central cystic degeneration.

Eight cases of primary mucocele or tumor in the sphenoid sinus treated in our hospital from 1965 to 1988 are reported. Six were male, 2 female. The ages ranged from 18 to 33 years. The course of disease was 20 days to 4 years with an average of 16 months. The common symptoms were headache and serious visual disturbance or involvement of cranial nerves III, IV, V and VI. There were 4 cases of mucocele and 1 case of chondroma, aneurysmal bone cyst, squamous cell carcinoma and chondrosarcoma. All were operated and proven by pathology. The diseases of sphenoid sinus are very difficult to diagnose. In this series, 5 cases had been misdiagnosed. In the early stage, it was often misdiagnosed as retro-bulbar optic neuritis and in the late stage, as malignant tumor of the base of skull or pituitary tumor (4 cases). Sphenoid sinus cyst and benign tumor gave better results. Two patients with malignant tumor died 8 and 9 months of the operation.

Chondromas of the nasal septum are rare. A case of chondroma originating in the left side of the nasal septum is reported. The patient, a 61-year-old female, presented bilateral nasal obstruction, headache, and nasal bleeding. The tumor was removed surgically through the transpalatal approach under general anesthesia. No recurrence was noticed after 6 months follow-up.

A case of chondrosarcoma originating within the postethmoidal and sphenoidal sinuses with intracranial invasion will be reported. The patient, a 54-year-old female, presented severe headaches and diminished visual acuity of the right eye. Angiographic findings showed both the left carotid artery to be completely occluded and the right inner carotid artery to be narrowed at the site of the carotid bifurcation. Computerized tomography scan findings showed a tumor, located mainly in the frontal base and temporal fossa, that had invaded the cranium through the skull base. Several tumor excisions were performed using a combined extranasal and transmaxillary approach. The diagnosis 'chondroma' was changed to 'chondrosarcoma' during autopsy.

We are reporting a case of manic depressive illness in a patient with a falxial chondroma in the right parietal region. Neurological symptoms were absent except for right hemicranial headache and examination was normal, prior to the presentation with mania. The mania responded to psychotropics. Subsequent evaluation with a head CT scan using contrast enhancement showed a 2.5 x 2 cm high density mass which on craniotomy and biopsy was noted to be a chondroma. For two years following removal, the patient remained euthymic without medication. To our knowledge, this is the fourth reported case of a chondroma in the parietal region and the first case of secondary mania associated with such a tumor.

A 28-year-old woman was presented with an 1-year history of headache, double vision and left hand and foot paresthesia. Clinical and CT findings were evaluated malignant. During the operation a solid mass attached to the falx cerebri was found. Pathological examination showed a chondroma with large central cystic degeneration. Our review of the literature revealed only 9 cases of falcine chondroma up to now, excluding ours.

The following case report is that of a 16-year-old boy who had a solitary benign intracranial parietal fibrochondroma. He presented with a 2 month history of headache. A cranial CT demonstrated an isodense, non-contrast enhancing, extra-axial lesion with decreased central opacity and flecks of hyperdensity consistent with calcification. MRI revealed a heterogeneous well circumscribed mass which had an increased signal on T2-weighted images; there was no enhancement with gadolinium. This lesion was totally removed and had histopathological features of a benign chondroma with a fibrocartilaginous character. The literature of this rare tumour is summarized.

The case of a 19-year-old female patient with a history of severe headache for several months is presented. Computed tomography (CT) as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intracranial, space-occupying mass with no meningeal attachment, located in the left frontal lobe. The entire tumour was removed, the pathological examination revealed a chondroma. The origin of this tumour is analysed, the clinical and histological findings are described and the literature is reviewed.
