RESUMEN
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a rare entity that is not well described in the neurosurgical literature. We present a case of a 37-year-old woman with a diffuse subtype TGCT of the cervical spine, affecting the left cervical 6-7 facet joint, with co-incidental cervical trauma. Initial management consisted of subtotal resection and cervical stabilization with cervical 6 to 7 laminectomy, and cervical 4 to thoracic 2 posterior instrumented fusion. Gross total resection was achieved at a later date with a plan for postoperative radiation to prevent a recurrence. The patient was lost to follow-up for radiation treatment and returned 2.5 years later with minor symptoms and recurrence at the surgical site.
