AbstractThe giant cell tumor of bone is a primary neoplasm, which can be locally aggressive, benign or low grade malignant tumors, that is uncommon in the vertebrae above the sacrum and even more rare in the cervical spine. Tumor radical excision, “en bloc” is considered the ideal treatment, however frequently not doable, mainly in the cervical spine due to critical neurovascular structures involvement. Adjuvant radiotherapy can be used in cases of subtotal resection or tumor relapse, lowering recurrence rates of the tumor. Case report: female patient, 25 years-old, presenting with cervical pain e sensitivity disturbance in her left arm, with diagnosis of bone neoplasm in C3-C5. She underwent subtotal resection of the lesion, confirming the diagnostic of giant cell tumor of bone, cervical spine arthrodesis and adjuvant radiotherapy. On 30-month follow-up, she was out of pain complains with total recovery of the left arm sensibility.

<p class="abstract">The complex anatomy of the neck makes surgical interventions of cervical neoplasms a very complex process. The aforementioned challenges the surgeon to find a surgical approach with the least morbidity and cosmetic sequelae. This is particularly true in tumoral occupation of the prevertebral space (PVS), most frequently due to the extension of neoplasms from naso and oropharynx; whereas primary tumors of the PVS are extremely rare. There are a number of surgical approaches to access the skull base and the anterior region of the upper cervical spine, such as the transcervical-transtemporal approach, retraction and dissection of the soft palate, mandibular osteotomy, medial glossotomy, among others. The following article presents a case report in which a less invasive combined transcervical-transoral approach was performed on a tenosynovial giant cell tumor of the PVS. As an alternative in the treatment of these type of lesions, it is in our opinion equally effective and less morbid.</p>
