  • Title: Giant cell tumor of the lumbar spine with intraperitoneal growth: case report and review of literature.
    Author: Munoz-Bendix C, Cornelius JF, Bostelmann R, Gierga K, Steiger HJ.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2013 Jul; 155(7):1223-8. PubMed ID: 23615800.
    Abstract:
    Giant cell tumors of the spine are uncommon. Usually they are benign and solitary, but locally very aggressive. Most of them occur at the sacral spine. There are only 26 reported cases in the literature involving this type of tumor in the lumbar spine, in particular exhibiting an intraperitoneal growth. We present the case of a woman with a primary tumor of the lumbar spine (giant cell tumor) with intraperitoneal growth, the outcome as well as a review of the literature. Furthermore, after reviewing all spinal cases in the literature above the sacral spine, we carefully suggest a management algorithm.
