  • Title: Primary osteosarcoma of the cervical spine: one case.
    Author: Ben Miled K, Siala M, Hamza KR, Rais H, Ben Rhouma T, Kammoun M, Hamza R.
    Journal: J Neuroradiol; 1988; 15(3):294-300. PubMed ID: 3246604.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a 31-year old woman who was operated upon for cervical bone tumour. The pathological study showed that it was a primary, highly differentiated osteosarcoma. The clinical picture was limited to a spinal cord compression syndrome without signs of inflammation. Radiological findings were non-specific. Treatment consisted of laminectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The course of the disease was marked by stabilization, then rapid aggravation 2 years after the operation. A review of the literature highlighted the rarity and relatively slow progression of primary osteosarcomas of the spine.
