Abstract

We describe a 43-year-old woman with grade 1 chondrosarcoma of the cervical spine who developed neuropathic arthropathy. Plain radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed a so-called dumbbell tumor. We suggest that this tumor was responsible for the development of neuropathic arthropathy in bilateral hip joints, the left shoulder joint, and the left first metacarpophalangeal joint. This is the first reported case of neuropathic arthropathy secondary to chondrosarcoma of the cervical spine.
