{Abstract}: Chondrosarcomas (CSs) are rare malignant tumors composed of cells derived from the transformed chondrocytes. Only 2% of the total cases of CS are found at the skull base, thus representing a 0.1-0.2% prevalence. We present the case of a patient with CS at the middle cranial fossa who was admitted for surgery to the Burdenko National Medical Research Center of Neurosurgery. In addition, we engage in a review of the literature to discuss the current approaches to the diagnostics and surgery of CS and delve deep into its embryo- and oncogenesis.
