  • Title: Giant cell tumor of lumbar vertebra. A case report with 13-year followup.
    Author: Li YH, Kour AK, Pho RW.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1998 Aug; (353):218-22. PubMed ID: 9728177.
    Abstract:
    A combined one stage anterior and posterior approach was used to excise a giant cell tumor involving the second lumbar vertebra. The tumor involved the anterior and posterior elements of the vertebra. A wide excision was feasible with immediate stabilization using the Luque instrumentation posteriorly and fibular strut grafts supporting the vertebral bodies anteriorly. The followup period was 13 years. There is no recurrence, and the patient has no symptoms of disease, and the fibular grafts are fully incorporated.
