Childs Nerv Syst. 1993 Aug;9(5):295-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00306279.

Abstract

Intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare entity. The case of a 13-year-old girl with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma which seemed to arise from the dura mater is presented here together with a review of the literature. In the present case, the tumor involved the superior sagittal sinus. It recurred 21 months after gross total removal of the mass and coagulation of the involved wall of the superior sagittal sinus. Reoperation was performed followed by radiation therapy.
