title: [Chondrosarcoma of the infratemporal fossa with intracranial extension. Case report and review of the literature].
abstract: Chondrosarcomas are rarely observed in the infratemporal fossa. We report a rare case with temporal extension into the middle cerebral fossa without meningoencephalic invasion. Surgical excision was followed by radiotherapy. The patient died 7 years later from another cause free of tumoral recurrence. We discuss the current understanding of cephalic chondrosarcomas involving the infratemporal fossa.
