Abstract
Spinal giant cell tumor (GCT) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are infrequent neoplasms of bone. Thirty percent of ABCs are secondary to tumors, such as GCT. We report a rare case of a pediatric cervical spine secondary ABC to GCT that had to be multimodally managed through anterior and posterior surgical approach, embolization, and denosumab treatment leading to a stabilization of the remnant. The case shows the importance of therapeutic strategy decision that depends on the patient and the lesion.
