We report the first case of cervical spine chondrosarcoma in a Wilms tumor survivor.
A 52-year-old female patient presented with myelopathic symptoms including poor balance, difficulty walking, and numbness of both feet. A magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed a mass at the right C7-T1 foramen causing significant cord compression. The patient's symptoms improved after posterior decompression and fusion with excision of the tumor.
Through our experience with this case, we would like to suggest a possible unknown genetic syndrome predisposing patients with Wilms tumor to chondrosarcoma as secondary neoplasms. We would also like to re-emphasize the need for vigilance when assessing patients with a history of Wilms tumor.
我们报告了首例威尔姆斯瘤幸存者的颈椎软骨肉瘤病例。
一名 52 岁女性患者出现了脊髓病症状,包括平衡不良、行走困难和双脚麻木。脊柱磁共振成像显示右侧 C7-T1 孔有一个肿块,导致脊髓严重受压。患者的症状在接受后路减压和肿瘤切除融合后得到了改善。
通过我们对这个病例的经验,我们建议可能存在一种未知的遗传综合征,使威尔姆斯瘤患者易患软骨肉瘤作为继发肿瘤。我们还想再次强调,在评估有威尔姆斯瘤病史的患者时,需要保持警惕。
