hondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor that usually

occurs in extremities but occasionally occurs in brain.

Usually intracranial chondromas originated from base of skull,

but chondroma of falx is a rare circumstance. Indeed, the

intracranial chondromas of the falx is mostly associated with

syndromic disorders such as Maffucci’s syndrome or Ollier’s

syndrome. Here, we reported a rare case of falcine chondroma

in a 19 years oldman who has normal physical examination and

no signs of any syndromic disorder. The imaging findings are

non-specific, and the diagnosis was made on histopathological

examination. The aim of this paper was to raise attention

about chondromas and suggest that chondroma must be

ruled out in any patient complain of masses arising from falx.
