Abstract EN
Chondrosarcoma is the third most common primary malignant bone tumor.
Yet the spine represents the primary location in only 2% to 12% of these tumors.
Almost all patients present with pain and a palpable mass.
About 50% of patients present with neurologic symptoms.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are generally unsuccessful while surgical resection is the treatment of choice.
Early diagnosis and careful surgical staging are important to achieve adequate management.
This paper provides an overview of the histopathological classification, clinical presentation, and diagnostic procedures regarding spinal chondrosarcoma.
We highlight specific treatment modalities and discuss which is truly the most suitable approach for these tumors.
Abstracts and original articles in English investigating these tumors were searched and analyzed with the use of the PubMed and Scopus databases with “chondrosarcoma and spine” as keywords.
