Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma Involving Posterior Bone of C7, T1, T2 and Adjacent Muscles / 대한척추외과학회지

A mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor occurring in both the bone and soft tissues, and has the characteristics of a malignant nature. Since its original description in 1959, several reports of this tumor occurring in the maxilla, mandible, rib and spine have been published. We report a case of a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma that occurred in the posterior part of C7, T1 and T2 and adjacent muscles in a 31-year-old man who was treated with a wide marginal excision.
