STUDY DESIGN: A @entity2483 with @entity10492 was reported. Imaging studies showed an expansile destructive lesion with mineralization. OBJECTIVES: To emphasize the occurrence of @entity10492 caused by @entity84 in the cervical spine. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: @entity84 is a rare benign neoplasm of the bone. Only eight cases of @entity84 occurring in the vertebra are reported in the literature, including five in the cervical vertebrae. However, there was no reported case of @entity10492 in the literature. METHODS: A 19-year-old @entity1 had a @entity10492 caused by @entity2483 , which invaded the vertebral body with an extraosseous involvement. Imaging studies showed an expansile destructive lesion with mineralization. Curettage of the lesion was performed from both anterior and posterior approaches. The defect of the vertebral body was reconstructed by autologous iliac bone graft with posterior fusion using the Luque instrumentation system. RESULTS: Histologically, the @entity5 cells were forming cartilage with round or oval nuclei, which often were indented or had a longitudinal groove. There was no sign of local recurrence, and the @entity51 had fully recovered 2 years and 3 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: @entity84 should be included in the differential diagnosis of lytic expansile destructive lesion of the spine, although there is an extraosseous involvement. Prompt adequate surgery should be performed as soon as possible after establishment of the correct histologic diagnosis to restore the @entity51 .
