Abstract
|
|
|
Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a locally aggressive tumor that primarily occurs in young female adults. These tumors rarely present in the spine, recur locally, and may be present during pregnancy because of growth promoting receptors. A 28?year?old pregnant woman presented to us at 28 weeks’ gestation with abdominal pain and severe back pain. Radiographs
of the chest suggested a tumor recurrence in the previous thoracic vertebra giant cell tumor and lung metastasis. She was performed preterm emergency cesarean section of a 1.33 kg baby because of preterm premature rupture of membranes and fetal distress. On postpartum 6th week, she was performed tumor excision and vertebrectomy. This is an unusual presentation of thoracic spine during pregnancy.
