ABSTRACT
Giant cell tumor which is arisen at vertebra is rare and this tumor of the cervical vertebra has been very rarely reported tumor which is less than 1% of all giant cell tumor. When the treatment option is considered, the curretage is often selected rather than total resection because the anatomic relationship of adjacent structures is complicated and there are major vessels and organs around the cervical vertebra. The prognosis of this tumor is decided by degree of resection so, total sponylectomy should be considered as primary surgical option. We report a case of cervical giant cell tumor in which the total spondylectomy was performed successfully and discuss the feasibility of this procedure at cervical region.
