Summary

A case of cervical chondrosarcoma that recurred after incomplete excision is presented. The mass was removed in three stages and the involved vertebrae were fused. Excision of the huge mass with only minor complications was only possible by staging the procedure. Due to the location of the lesion, only marginal excision could be performed and the patient was given adjuvant radiotherapy. No signs of recurrence have been detected at 1-year follow-up and surgical measures to improve the function of the neurologically involved extremity are being undertaken.
