Enchondroma of the cervical spine.
Enchondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor rarely found in the vertebral column. The authors report a case of a 24-year-old woman with upper extremity paresthesias and weakness secondary to bony destruction of multiple vertebral bodies by an enchondroma. The tumor was treated by block excision of the involved vertebral bodies followed by placement of a bone graft.
