  • Title: Periosteal chondroma of the pediatric cervical spine.
    Author: Fahim DK, Johnson KK, Whitehead WE, Curry DJ, Luerssen TG, Jea A.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Pediatr; 2009 Feb; 3(2):151-6. PubMed ID: 19278317.
    Abstract:
    Periosteal chondromas located in the spine are rare. The authors document an even more infrequent occurrence of a recurrent periosteal chondroma in the cervical spine of a 6-year-old boy. During the operation, a giant (>7 cm in diameter) periosteal chondroma with involvement of the C-5 and C-6 vertebral bodies was resected. The vertebral column was reconstructed with anterior-posterior instrumentation. The pathological examination revealed that the tumor consisted of chondroid tissue with typical chondrocytes, confirming the diagnosis of periosteal chondroma.
