Intracranial chondromas are rare tumors that generally arise from the skull    base or at the sphenoid-ethmoidal region. In these sites chondromas may be misdiagnosed    as meningiomas, neurinomas or craniopharyngiomas. The authors present the clinical    and radiological findings of a patient who underwent surgery for excision of    a sella turcica chondroma.
