Chondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor and rarely seen as a spinal cord tumor. The authors report a case of cervical chondroma with cord compression signs. After the total surgical removal of the lesion neurological recovery was seen, but one year later recurrence occurred with no sarcomatous transformation.
