The Authors report a case of cartilaginous tumor of the parasellar region, diagnosed as ossifying chondroma by virtue of the intense calcification it presented. Preoperative diagnosis was suggested by CT, which showed a characteristic honeycomb conformation, with alternate areas of greater or lesser density, without contrast enhancement. Angiography is, however, essential in planning the operation, which must on occasion be confined to partial resection only. This limitation may be acceptable where functionally important areas are concerned, since these neoplasms show an apparent tendency to only modest growth.
作者报告了1例鞍旁软骨肿瘤病例，因其呈现出强烈钙化而被诊断为骨化性软骨瘤。CT提示了术前诊断，其显示出特征性的蜂窝状结构，有密度高低交替的区域，无强化表现。然而，血管造影对于手术规划至关重要，有时手术必须仅限于部分切除。在涉及功能重要区域时，这种限制可能是可以接受的，因为这些肿瘤表现出仅适度生长的明显倾向。
