A 48-year-old male presented with a very rare case of spinal chondrosarcoma localized in the cervical spinal canal and intervertebral foramen, but without marked destruction of the vertebral column. Spinal chondrosarcoma is characterized by radiological evidence of destruction of the surrounding bone structure and mottled calcification. Magnetic resonance imaging was useful in the diagnosis and determination of the extent of this spinal chondrosarcoma. However, preoperative differential diagnosis of the tumor was not possible based on neuroimaging evidence.
一名48岁男性患者,患有脊柱软骨肉瘤,极为罕见,肿瘤位于颈椎管和椎间孔,但未对脊柱造成明显破坏。脊柱软骨肉瘤的特征是周围骨结构破坏及斑点状钙化的影像学证据。磁共振成像对该脊柱软骨肉瘤的诊断及范围确定很有帮助。然而,基于神经影像学证据无法在术前对肿瘤进行鉴别诊断。
