Most spinal chondromas arise from the cartilaginous parts of the vertebra. Chondromas originating from the intervertebral disc are extraordinarily rare.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 65-year-old female experienced recurrence of low back pain and left-sided lumbar radiculopathy after microdiscectomy and microdecompression. A mass continuous with the intervertebral disc was found to be compressing the left L3 nerve root and was resected. Histologic examination revealed a benign chondroma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Chondromas developing from the intervertebral disc are extremely rare; we could find only 37 reported cases. Identification of these chondromas is difficult because until surgical resection they are almost indistinguishable from herniated intervertebral discs. Here, we describe a patient with residual\/recurrent lumbar radiculopathy caused by a chondroma originating from the L3\u20134 intervertebral disc. When a patient has recurrence of spinal nerve root compression after discectomy, a chondroma arising from the intervertebral disc is an uncommon but possible etiology.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_1171_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]],"date-time":"2023-02-24T07:16:01Z","timestamp":1677222961000},"page":"67","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A lumbar chondroma originating from the intervertebral disc"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Uma","family":"Gonchigar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Taryn","family":"Cazzolli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samon","family":"Tavakoli-Sabour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Viktor","family":"Bartanusz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-193301000-00002","article-title":"Chondroma of the intervertebral disks","volume":"97","author":"Alpers","year":"1933","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"685","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199004000-00022","article-title":"Chondroma of the lumbar spine, a rare cause of sciatica: Case report","volume":"26","author":"Bland","year":"1990","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-3","first-page":"463","article-title":"Dahlin\u2019s Bone Tumors: General Aspects and Data on 11,087 Cases","author":"Dahlin","year":"1996","edition":"5th ed"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198901000-00002","article-title":"Loose cartilage from intervertebral disk simulating tumor of the spinal cord By Walter E Dandy, 1929","volume":"238","author":"Dandy","year":"1989","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-5","article-title":"Tumors of the Spinal Cord","author":"Elsberg","year":"1925"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"252","DOI":"10.14245\/kjs.2013.10.4.252","article-title":"Lumbar spinal chondroma presenting with acute sciatica","volume":"10","author":"Kim","year":"2013","journal-title":"Korean J Spine"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01405549","article-title":"Intraspinal cervical chondroma, probable discal origin, associated with tetraplegia","volume":"3","author":"Loscertales","year":"1952","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nec.2007.09.007","article-title":"Chondroma\/ chondrosarcoma of the spine","volume":"19","author":"McLoughlin","year":"2008","journal-title":"Neurosurg Clin N Am"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"232","DOI":"10.1177\/2192568220901557","article-title":"Chondromas of the lumbar spine: A systematic review","volume":"11","author":"Robles","year":"2021","journal-title":"Global Spine J"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_1171_2022\/ref-10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1968.29.3.0276","article-title":"Case reports and technical notes.
