  • Title: Pathologic odontoid fracture and benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone.
    Author: Peicha G, Seibert FJ, Bratschitsch G, Fankhauser F, Grechenig W.
    Journal: Eur Spine J; 1999; 8(2):161-3. PubMed ID: 10333157.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 44-year-old female patient, who sustained an odontoid fracture after a minor trauma (uncomplicated fall). The radiologic evaluation revealed a skeletal tumor of the second cervical vertebra together with a fracture line at the base of the odontoid process of the axis. The patient underwent surgery, the tumor was resected and the odontoid was stabilised using an autologous cortico-cancellous bone graft and a halo fixator. Histologic examination revealed benign fibrous histiocytoma, which is reported to be a very rare skeletal tumor.
