Résumé
We report the first case of cervical spine chondrosarcoma in a Wilms tumor survivor. A 52-year-old female patient presented with myelopathic symptoms including poor balance, difficulty walking, and numbness of both feet. A magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed a mass at the right C7-T1 foramen causing significant cord compression. The patient's symptoms improved after posterior decompression and fusion with excision of the tumor. Through our experience with this case, we would like to suggest a possible unknown genetic syndrome predisposing patients with Wilms tumor to chondrosarcoma as secondary neoplasms. We would also like to re-emphasize the need for vigilance when assessing patients with a history of Wilms tumor.
