Chondrosarcoma of the skull base and temporal bone is a very rare pathology. Due to its multiple potential sites of origin and histological specificity, it presents us with significant challenges. Gross total removal is the primary treatment for chondrosarcoma of the skull base and temporal bone. Personalized decision-making should be considered based on the following aspects: tumor, patient, and surgeon's factors. Postoperative radiation therapy is complementary to surgical treatment in grades II and III lesions to achieve long-term survival.
