Abstract

Spinal chondrosarcomas are uncommon malignant bone tumors that are rare in children. The location and imaging features of the lesion help in formulating a differential diagnosis, though in certain instances the lack of typical imaging findings may elude the differential of a chondrosarcoma. There are only a few reported cases in literature and owing to its rarity and lack of specific management protocols in this age group, making treatment decisions can be complex. We report a case of spinal chondrosarcoma in a young girl, where the treatment of choice was primary surgical resection. Transarterial embolization was performed to reduce tumor vascularity and aid the surgery.
