We report two cases of thoracic spine chondroma in two girls aged 14 and 12 years. The lesion was revealed by signs of spinal cord compression and affected T1 and T7 respectively. Chondroma is a benign bone tumour, fairly frequent in the extremities but very rare in the spine. It accounts for 2.8% of benign bone tumours and 12% of all bone tumors. 3.6% to 4% of chondroma are located in the spine. Out of 51 cases reported in the literature 21 had been revealed by spinal cord compression, with an age range of 5 to 76 years. In all cases of spinal cord compression magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is necessary as first-line examination, but CT scans are still useful in the diagnosis and post-operative follow-up of spinal chondroma because of the osteo-cartilaginous nature of these tumors. The purpose of this study was to report two new cases of spinal cord compression by thoracic spine chondroma and to review the literature.
我们报告了两例胸椎软骨瘤病例，患者为两名14岁和12岁的女孩。病变因脊髓受压症状而被发现，分别累及T1和T7椎体。软骨瘤是一种良性骨肿瘤，在四肢较为常见，但在脊柱中非常罕见。它占良性骨肿瘤的2.8%，占所有骨肿瘤的12%。3.6%至4%的软骨瘤位于脊柱。在文献报道的51例病例中，21例是因脊髓受压而被发现，年龄范围为5至76岁。在所有脊髓受压的病例中，磁共振成像（MRI）作为一线检查是必要的，但由于这些肿瘤的骨软骨性质，CT扫描在脊柱软骨瘤的诊断和术后随访中仍然有用。本研究的目的是报告两例新的胸椎软骨瘤导致脊髓受压的病例并复习文献。
