Chondroid chordoma of the lateral skull base.
A rare case of chondroid chordoma of the lateral skull base with laterocervical extension is reported. Clinical, radiological and pathological features of the tumor are described. This unusual location of chondroid chordoma enabled total resection of the neoplastic tissue through a combined laterocervical and far lateral transjugular approach.
