The majority of lesions arise from the base of the skull or from bones developed by endochondral ossification. A minority of cases are attached to the falxcerebri in the fronto parietal location. Case Description: We report a case of a giant intracranial osteochondroma in a 24-year-old man. This patient presented with complaints of convulsions and headache. Imaging studies of the brain, gross, and histological features concluded it to be an osteochondroma. Conclusion: This case is reported in view of extreme rarity of the lesion, and to emphasize the fact that complete surgical resection is curative.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/ddc38288-8230-4977-add2-abafba2dc54f/featured/hero-1782424746589.png","publishDate":"2011-08-30T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.84242","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/ddc38288-8230-4977-add2-abafba2dc54f/pdf"}
