Multilevel Giant Cell Tumor of the Cervical Spine: A Pediatric Case Report and Review of the Literature

1. Abstract
Giant cell tumor of the bone is benign and expansile osteolytic lesions that occur infrequently in the spine above the sacrum. They are locally aggressive, with high rate of local recurrence.
We report a pediatric case of GCT in the cervical spine, revealed with cervical spinal cord compression, We performed a complete excision associated with posterior cervical fusion. We decided not to administer radiotherapy to the patient after consulting with the radiation oncology department
At 1-year follow-up, the patient had shown no recurrence.
