[Fibrosarcoma of the cervical spine. Case report (author's transl)]

Primary malignant tumours of the cervical spine are very rare. Perhaps only 30 reports of sarcoma of the cervical spine have appeared until today. We are recording another case of fibrosarcoma, which was diagnosed initially as hysteric pain in gravidity by a 19-year-old girl. The fibrosarcoma lateron metastasized into the third lumbar vertebra by a direct hematogenic pathway.
