Surg Neurol. 1985 Jul;24(1):52-6. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(85)90064-3.

Abstract

We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with benign chondroblastoma in the occipital bone associated with a cerebellar hemorrhage. The clinical features, radiologic and histologic appearances, and histogenesis in this case are described. Other reports of benign chondroblastomas of the cranial bones are also discussed.
