A rare case of chondrosarcoma of the skull in a 57 year old female is reported. The tumor was located in the right parasella region, extra-dural type. A plain skull showed amorphous calcific densities in the right parasella area. Right carotid angiogram showed a slightly opening of carotid siphon on lateral view.
