Özet

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare high-grade malignant subtype of chondrosarcoma that is characterized by undifferentiated, round, or spindled mesenchymal cells, interspersed with islands of hyaline cartilage. We report a primary intracranial extra-axial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in a 16-month-old patient with a review of the literature focusing on intracranial extra-axial MCs with or without skull involvement in pediatric patients, including differential diagnosis. The patient was admitted with a swelling in the right temporooccipital region. There was intracranial extra-dural extension of the mass, which abuts the neural parenchyma without any invasion. A complete tumor resection was performed. Pathological diagnosis was mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. The patient was free of symptoms after surgery.
