Περίληψη:
We report the case of a patient with giant cell tumor of the L5
vertebra. A 35-year-old female patient with giant cell tumor of the L5
vertebra was subjected to a combined treatment. Three years after
treatment, there is no recurrence of the disease and no increase in the
residual tumor’s size. Giant cell tumor of the L5 vertebra requires
careful planning of treatment and close follow-up of the patient.
