Abstract
|
|
|
|
Osteochondroma is a common benign bone tumor, but relatively rare in the spine. Spinal osteochondroma originates mainly from the posterior column and sometimes invades the spinal canal causing cord compression and myelopathy. A 36-year-old man was admitted to the authors' institution with a two-year history of neck pain. A radiology examination revealed osteochondroma, arising from the left superior articular process of the T1 vertebra with significant central canal narrowing. Most cases of the spinal osteochondroma originate in the cervical vertebra, but there are few reports of an origin of the cervicothoracic junction. This paper reports a case of osteochondroma at the cervicothoracic junction with a review of the relevant literature
