Abstract
A case of cervical spinal cord granular cell tumour in a patient with Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome is described. A granular cell tumour arising from the spinal cord itself has never been previously described. Comp lete excision of the tumour could not be achieved owing to its locatio n. It subsequently recurred and was treated with radiotherapy. The pat ient made a complete recovery with no further recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.
