Abstract We present a case of falcine chondrosarcoma in a 58-year-old man. Only a few other examples of chondrosarcomas in this location and a total of approximately 50 intracranial cases have been reported. Because its rarity prevents any group of neurosurgeons from collecting a large experience in managing this tumor, we reviewed descriptions of previous cases to determine the natural history of intracranial chondrosarcomas. The distinguishing features of this rare tumor are compared with previous examples of intracranial tumors derived from cartilage and more common tumors in the parasagittal region, such as meningioma.

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumor. The most common localization of mesothelioma is pleura. It rarely arises from the peritoneum. It has been suggested that familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) may cause the development of peritoneal mesothelioma. We describe a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a hemodialysis patient with FMF. The patient was a 56 year old female. A history of FMF was present since her childhood. She did not use colchicine and suffered from recurrent ascites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the seventh case of FMF diagnosed as having malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in the medical literature.

Esthesioneuroblatoma (ENB) is a rare tumor arising from the olfactory epithelium of the nasal vault which frequently invades the cranial base, cranial vault and orbit. ENB has a bimodal age distribution between 11 and 20 years and between 51 and 60 years. ENB accounts for approximately 1 to 5% of intranasal cancers and no consensus has been reached regarding treatment of this tumor. We report on a 66 year old female patient with a Kadish stage C tumor with frontal lobe invasion submitted a total craniofacial resection with a combined head neck and neurosurgeon team. The purpose of this study is to analyze the natural history, treatment and prognosis of this tumor, based on the literature review.
