چکیده
Introduction Giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is part of the group of synovial tumors that can affect joints, bursas, and tendon sheaths. It is rare for GCTTS to involve the spine. When present, it is more common in the lower cervical spine. In the literature, there are only four cases described in the upper cervical spine. In this report, we describe a rare case of GCTTS in the upper cervical spine, which was treated with en-bloc marginal resection.
