STUDY DESIGN: The clinical records, radiographs, histologic sections, and operative reports of 52 consecutive @entity1 with an @entity80 of the spine were reviewed to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic options and to correlate treatment and outcome. OBJECTIVES: To define the incidence, clinical presentation, diagnostic and therapeutic options, and prognosis of @entity1 with @entity80 of the spine. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: There are special considerations in the management of spinal lesions: relative inaccessibility of the lesions, associated @entity954 , necessity of removing the entire lesion to avoid the possibility of recurrence, proximity of the lesion to the spinal cord and nerve roots, and potential postoperative bony spinal instability. METHODS: Fifty-two consecutive @entity1 with an @entity80 of the spine were treated from 1910 to 1993. Forty @entity1 initially treated for a @entity75 had operative treatment (19 intralesional excision and bone grafting and 21 intralesional excision); four also had adjuvant radiation therapy. @entity1416 was performed in two. RESULTS: There was a recurrence rate of 10% within 10 years. All recurrences were noted less than 6 months after surgery. Of 12 @entity1 treated for a recurrent lesion, two had a subsequent recurrence (16.7%) within 9 years. At last follow-up examination, 50 @entity1 (96%) were free of the disease. One @entity1 died of @entity421 , and one died of @entity954 . CONCLUSION: Current treatment recommendations involve preoperative selective arterial embolization, intralesional excision curettage, bone grafting, and fusion of the affected area if instability is present.
