Özet

Giant cell tumor is one of the benign tumors of bone that typically originate from the meta-epiphysial ends of long bones. It constitutes approximately 5% to 10% of all bone tumors in adults. These rarely seen tumors in the spine often present with nonspecific localized pain due to bone involvement. Diagnosis is made by demonstrating osteolytic bone lesion by direct X-ray and computed tomography. Surgical excision, radiotherapy and immunotherapy are the main treatment modalities. Herein we report a young female patient presented to our clinic with back pain and hypoesthesia in her legs. Lytic bone lesion in the second thoracic vertebra was radiologically demonstrated. After subtotal excision, histopathological examination revealed giant cell tumor of the bone. Diagnosis and treatment approaches in our case were discussed by reviewing the literature.
