Abstract
Case report. The objective of this study was to document the long-term follow-up of a single case. Radiosurgery is potentially a useful therapeutic option for spinal tumors. The authors present the unusual case of a patient with recurrent extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the lumbar spine, who experienced excellent clinical, radiographic, and oncologic response without complications after treatment with dedicated Novalis Shaped Beam Radiosurgery (Brain Lab, Inc.). Observational. We observed excellent clinical and oncologic control at 1-year posttreatment. Radiosurgery may be a valuable treatment option for recurrent spinal tumors.
