Neurosurgery. 1992 Nov;31(5):956-7.

Abstract

Cranial chondrosarcomas are rare. The majority of cases arise from the base of the skull and are most common in adult life. In this report, an infant with a chondrosarcoma of the temporal bone is discussed. We are not aware of a previously reported case of chondrosarcoma of the temporal bone in this age group.
