SPINAL CHONDROSARCOMAS (Report of Seven Cases with Moderate Term FoIlow-up)
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1991, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Seven cases of chondrosarcomas with spinal location that has been treated in our hospital were evaluated ret-rospectively. Average patient age at the time of diagnosis was 38.1 years. One of the cases was associated with multiple hereditary exostosis. One tumor was located at the sacrum and the others at true vertebrae. Five lesions were histologically grade I, one was grade II and one was grade III. Their surgical stages were IA for one patient, IB for five patients and IIB for one patient. The surgical margins of resection were intra-lesional in four, marginal in two and contaminated wide in one patient. Average follow-up period vvas 67 months, and oniy one patient is known to have died of disease at 24 months. One patient was lost to follow-up at six months and the other five were living rangı'ng from eleven to one hundred and twenty months. İt vvas concluded that spinal chondrosarcomas are often low-grade lesions with goodprognoses and appropri-ate treatment often yields long term survivai rates.
