    Author: Lu M, Zhou Z, Lei Z, Li H, Boriani S.
    Journal: Eur Spine J; 2019 Jun; 28(Suppl 2):25-30. PubMed ID: 29974237.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: En bloc resection is the treatment of choice of myxoid chondrosarcoma. These tumors can produce huge masses. Anatomical constraints limit the possibility to perform en bloc resection in the spine. METHODS: A very huge myxoid chondrosarcoma (14.2 × 10.8 × 11.4 cm) arising from T2 to T5 and invading the whole higher left pleural cavity was observed. Surgical planning according to WBB staging system was performed. RESULTS: The tumor was successfully submitted to en bloc resection achieving a tumor-free margin as demonstrated by the pathologist's report. CONCLUSIONS: A careful planning and a multidisciplinary collaboration make possible to perform en bloc resection even in apparently impossible cases.
