title: [Cervical chondrosarcoma: about two cases].
abstract: Chondrosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor. The location in the vertebral bodies is rare. Its diagnosis is difficult and it is confirmed by histopathology. We report two cases of cervical chondrosarcoma in two men aged respectively 70 and 40 years. Symptomatology was cervicobrachial neuralgia and motor deficit. Both patients were operated and the treatment completed by radiotherapy.
