    Notes: Abstract A case is presented of a 3-year-old boy with a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma extending from the 1st to the 5th lumbar vertebra. This is the youngest case of a mesenchymal chondrasarcoma located outside the skeleton or in the C.N.S. After assumed total excision with subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, local tumor recurrence and (later) systemic metastases were detected. Standard therapy should include radical excision because of the high incidence of local recurrence and subsequent radiotherapy because of the expected high incidence of tumor cells in the CSF. The value of chemotherapy cannot be assessed, as it has been applied in only one other case found in the literature.

    Notes: Abstract A 17 year old patient suffering from thalassemia, who had been dependent on transfusions since the age of three, showed an increasing incomplete sensory and motor transverse cord lesion below T-10. The causes were found to be multiple epidural erythropoietic foci, confirmed by myelography, CT, and biopsy. The lesions were located in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. Complete remission of the neurological symptoms was achieved by an immediate hypertransfusion regimen and subsequent local radiation therapy of the neuroaxis. Thirty-six cases of thalassemia and spinal space occupying lesions have been reported in the literature. The therapeutic results of these are presented and compared with our findings.
