Abstract

Chondrosarcomas (CSA) of the temporal bone are rare primary malignant tumours that are slow growing, but locally aggressive. The management of CSAs involving the temporal bone is challenging and necessitates a multidisciplinary approach in a tertiary referral unit well practised in skull base surgery. Their management with particular reference to modes of presentation and treatment strategies has been reviewed here.
