Article Synopsis
- Giant-cell tumors of the bone are rare, especially in the spine and above the sacrum, and can cause symptoms like compression but rarely lead to severe complications like tetraplegia.
- A clinical case is presented involving a young woman with a giant-cell tumor in her cervical spine (C6 and C7) that led to tetraplegia, requiring surgery and subsequent radiotherapy after recurrence.
- Early diagnosis is challenging due to subtle symptoms; imaging techniques like MRI are helpful, but definitive diagnosis needs histopathological tests, with surgery recommended when possible to prevent recurrence.
