C4 cervical spine osteoblastoma associated with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in an adolescent patient: 2-year follow-up.

Simultaneous presence of an osteoblastoma with a secondary ABC arising from various bones, such as cranial fossa, ethmoid sinus, skull, and mandibular condyle, has rarely been reported. It is often diagnosed late due to nonspecific symptoms; but it has a good prognosis if early and complete resection is performed. Thorough surgical excision is always a challenge in spine cases due to surrounding important structures and meticulousness is required to prevent any recurrences. Hence, we recommend a surgical team comprising both spine and musculoskeletal oncologic surgeons to achieve best results.
