title: [Upper cervical chondrosarcoma].
abstract: Spinal chondrosarcoma are extremely rare and slowly growing tumors. They have been reported in thoraco-lumbar spine and lower cervical spine. Our case, a female, has a tumor located in the axis with extension into C3 and then caudally to C4 as the disease progressed. We present a technical innovation in spinal stabilization and compare our result with previously reported cases.
