Abstract
Chondroma, a rare benign tumor, occurs in any cartilage of the body. Skull base is an extremely rare location of chondrosarcoma. Complete resection is the treatment of choice and it’s not always possible. We report in this work the case of a 60-year-old woman, who presented with a skull base chondroma treated with radiation therapy alone. With a 2 years follow-up, a marked symptomatology improvement was reported by the patient. On control MRI, tumoral process remained stable. We shed light, through this case, on the place of radiotherapy in the treatment of skull base chondromas.
