case_images: The lesion had heterogenous signal on T1/T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images with multiple gradient echo (GRE) hypointense area inside the lesion with no diffusion restriction, along with significant enhancement of the mass following administration of IV gadolinium [Figure 1a-c].
case_images: (a) H and E (100x) shows the junction where the tumor is invading and destroying the intercellular lamellated bone (b) H and E 400x, arrow showing invasion and destruction by chondroid cells. The tumor is low grade and sparsely cellular. Prominent nucleoli and single lacunae having two cells were rarely recognized

case_images: CT brain showed that the tumor was completely removed [Figure 3]. Clinically, the patient showed significant improvement in visual acuity in the left eye (preoperative 6/18; postoperative 6/9); however, bitemporal hemianopia persisted.
