Abstract

An 8-year-old boy had an osteoblastoma of the body of C2. After attempted excision, the tumor recurred rapidly and massively. The tumor shrank progressively after treatment with high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin. The patient has stopped treatment and been stable for 33 months. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice for osteoblastoma. Chemotherapy may be useful in selected patients with a recurrent, aggressive tumor or in patients with surgically inaccessible disease.
