Metastatic mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the spine managed with nonsurgical treatment: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Abstract In this report, we present a rare case of a 17‐year‐old male patient with metastatic mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) managed with nonsurgical treatment who subsequently demonstrated a favorable response to concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy, followed with pazopanib target therapy. Further study regarding nonoperative care for metastatic MCS of spine is warranted.
