A case of skull base chondrosarcoma treated by modified infratemporal fossa type A approach

Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is a slow-growing tumor, a rare lesion in the skull base. The mainstay of treatment for chondrosarcoma is surgical resection, with or without adjuvant radiation therapy. We report a case of skull base chondrosarcoma in a 35-year-old man, which was successfully treated by surgical resection via a modified infratemporal fossa type A approach.
