Abstract
Giant cell tumor of the vertebra is a rare clinical observation, especially in the mobile segment of the spine. The tactics of treatment may vary, but surgical treatment such as total resection is the method of choice. This paper describes the experience of treating a case of a 40-year-old patient with a giant cell tumor of the Th11 vertebra with a long preoperative history and severe neurological deficit. Despite the large size of the neoplasm, the chosen tactic of surgical treatment made it possible to completely remove the tumor with the stabilization of the spine, as well as to stabilize the patient’s condition with a gradual regression of neurological symptoms.
