Jung, Kim, Kim, Kim, Kang, Ko, and Yoon: Atypical CT and MR Features of Chondroid Chordoma at the Base of the Skull: A Case Report

Abstract

We report a case of chondroid chordoma without calcification in which T2-weighted MR images revealed homogeneous high signal intensity. The tumor was located in the left middle cranial fossa extending to the cerebellopontine angle and with displacement of the pituitary gland to the right side. Precontrast CT scans showed a homogeneous low -density mass, without calcification. T1-weighted MR images of the mass demonstrated relatively homogeneous low signal intensity, T2-weighted images showed homogeneous high signal intensity, and post -contrast T1-weighted images revealed somewhat heterogeneous enhancement.
