We report a rare case of extradural spinal chondrosarcoma in a 48-year-old female. The patient was asymptomatic until a traumatic injury led to lumbar pain, revealing a tumor with atypical imaging characteristics in adjacent vertebral segments. MRI confirmed an extradural spinal tumor, which was surgically excised. Histopathological examination identified the tumor as myxoid chondrosarcoma. The patient underwent extensive surgical treatment, with no local recurrence or distant metastasis observed after five years. Her lumbar pain also completely resolved within the first postoperative year. The management of the rare entity of spinal canal chondrosarcoma is discussed.
我们报告了一例48岁女性的硬膜外脊髓软骨肉瘤罕见病例。该患者在遭受外伤导致腰痛之前没有症状，外伤后发现相邻椎体节段有具有非典型影像学特征的肿瘤。MRI证实为硬膜外脊髓肿瘤，遂进行手术切除。组织病理学检查确定该肿瘤为黏液样软骨肉瘤。患者接受了广泛的手术治疗，五年后未观察到局部复发或远处转移。她的腰痛在术后第一年内也完全缓解。本文讨论了椎管软骨肉瘤这一罕见实体的治疗。
