Abstract

In total, ~10% of chondrosarcomas arise from the mobile spine, and these are prone to local recurrence despite being low‑grade malignant tumors. Almost all patients will present with pain and a palpable mass in the area of the lesion. For adequate management of the disease, an early diagnosis and careful surgical staging are important. The present study reports a case of cervical spinal low‑grade chondrosarcoma in a young female presenting with a slow‑growing mass that had not metastasized during a 3‑year period. A unilateral lateral mass fixation system of screws and rods was installed following an intralesional resection of the tumor. At present, two years following the surgery, the patient exhibits no neurological deficiency symptoms. Therefore, unilateral fixation presents an effective alternative technique for the treatment of patients with a lesion on the cervical spine.
