Intracranial chondromas of the dural convexity are exceedingly rare with less than 30 reported in the literature to date. We report a massive intradural convexity chondroma in a patient initially thought to have a frontal gait neurodegenerative disorder. This large tumor required a complex, piecemeal surgical resection due to the dense, fibrous nature of the tumor and the proximity of crucial s...

Extra skeletal chondroma (ESC), also referred to as chondroma of soft parts, is a benign soft tissue tumor composed mainly of hyaline cartilage with no connection to bone or periosteum. It is a very rare, slow progressing, benign tumor with a predilection for hands and feet [1]. It can sometimes be misdiagnosed as a synovial cyst or a more serious condition such as synovial sarcoma.

We present two patients with benign endobronchial tumours: polypi and a chondroma. Both were treated by Neodymium-YAG laser photoresection. There have been no signs of recurrence in the four years since treatment. Endobronchial resection by Neodymium-YAG laser is an effective treatment for benign endobronchial tumours.
