Chondrosarcomas are relatively rare tumors of the skull base. This article surveys the clinical and pathologic features of these lesions. In recent years there have been remarkable advances in both the imaging and treatment of these lesions. Both CT scanning and MR imaging are usually necessary for the complete evaluation of these tumors because of the involvement of both soft tissue and bony structures at the skull base. New surgical techniques and the use of high-energy proton beam irradiation have improved the prognosis for patients with these lesions.
软骨肉瘤是相对罕见的颅底肿瘤。本文综述了这些病变的临床和病理特征。近年来，这些病变在影像学检查和治疗方面均取得了显著进展。由于颅底的软组织和骨质结构均受累，因此通常需要CT扫描和磁共振成像（MR成像）对这些肿瘤进行全面评估。新的手术技术和高能质子束放疗的应用改善了这些病变患者的预后。
