Background: Primary giant cell tumor of the axis is a rare. The authors reported a case of a primary giant cell tumor of the axis revealed by cervical pain, and discussed the diagnosis and treatment of giant cell tumor.
Case presentation: The patient presented to our clinic with neck pain and unstable gait. X-ray, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed osteolysis of the body and vertebral arch of the axis. Histologic evaluation gave a conclusion of a giant tumor, grade II. Spondylectomy of the axis was performed by the transoral approach. The local recurrence of the tumor was found 3 months later and the patient refused further therapy.
Conclusion: Primary giant cell tumor of the axis is a rare type tumor with poor prognosis. Definitive diagnosis should be based on histopathological morphology and surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.
