title: Recurrent primary lumbar vertebra chondrosarcoma: Marginal resection and Iodine-125 seed therapy.
abstract: Chondrosarcomas are uncommon in the spinal column. En bloc excisions with wide margins are of critical importance but not always feasible in spine. We report the outcome in a case of recurrent lumbar vertebral chondrosarcoma treated with marginal resection and iodine-125 seeds placed in the resected tumor bed.
