AbstractIntracranial cartilaginous tumors are rare lesions, usually arising from the skull base in older individuals. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with a low-grade type chondrosarcoma arising from the falx cerebri. To our knowledge this is the first such case reported in a child. She was treated with gross total surgical resection followed by external beam radiation because there was evidence of dural infiltration by tumor in and around the superior sagittal sinus. The patient remains progression free 9 months after surgery.
