Their treatment methods include denosumab, bisphosphonates, and/or different surgical techniques. Here, we present the successful treatment of a sacral GCT in a 13 years old. Case Description: A 13-year-old male presented with back pain and paraparesis of 3-week duration. Radiological studies demonstrated an S1 lytic lesion. He underwent an excisional biopsy and anterior and posterior resection combined with a lumbopelvic fusion. One year later, there has been no tumor recurrence. Conclusion: We successfully treated an S1 sacral GCT in a 13-year-old male utilizing a wide anteriorand posterior excision combined with a lumbopelvic fusion.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/edb156ff-e26d-43bb-b5f2-1c38be4348d4/featured/hero-cropped-1781560421373.jpg","publishDate":"2023-03-31T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_207_2023","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/12221/SNI-14-121.pdf"}
