CENTRAL NERVOUS-SYSTEM MESENCHYMAL CHONDROSARCOMA - CASE-REPORT JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY Harsh, G. R., Wilson, C. B. 1984; 61 (2): 375-381

Abstract

Local recurrence developed 6 years after the initial resection of an intraspinal meningeal tumor that originally was thought to be an angioblastic meningioma. Histological review of the pathology led to a change of that diagnosis to one of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. The recurrent vascular tumor was embolized, then totally excised. Because this tumor had malignant features, the patient received irradiation and chemotherapy. No evidence of regrowth has been observed during a period of more than 4 years. Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas of the central nervous system and their treatment are reviewed.
