Chondrosarcomas (CSA) of the temporal bone are rare primary malignant tumours that are slow growing, but locally aggressive. The management of CSAs involving the temporal bone is challenging and necessitates a multidisciplinary approach in a tertiary referral unit well practised in skull base surgery. Their management with particular reference to modes of presentation and treatment strategies has been reviewed here.
