Abstract

Posterior element spinal giant cell tumors are rare entities. Total en bloc excision offers the best chance for curing these potentially locally aggressive lesions. We report the management of a patient presenting with chronic middorsal backache with a benign giant cell tumor of the T-4 vertebrae lamina with en bloc excision and post op adjuvant radio therapy with no signs of recurrence at 1 year followup.
