Abstract
A rare case in which cartilage cells were observed in cerebrospinal fluid is reported and the literature reviewed. This phenomenon, occurring in 0.2% of the cerebrospinal fluid specimens, is thought to be caused by accidental puncture of the intervertebral disk. It has the potential of being mistaken for a malignant process.
