title: Chondrosarcoma of the skull base in Maffucci's syndrome.
abstract: We report a new case of skull base chondrosarcoma in Maffucci's syndrome. Maffucci's syndrome combining enchondromatosis with cutaneous haemangioma is rarely associated with chondrosarcoma. The review of literature highlights a small number of this pathological association.
