Abstract

Soft tissue chondromas are the benign chondro-osseous tumors of soft tissue that usually occur in the extra-osseous and extra-synovial regions of the extremities. We present here a rare location for a soft tissue chondroma that originated from the dura mater in the lumbar spinal canal, and it mimicked a nerve sheath tumor. We present here the MRI findings and pathologic features of this tumor.
