Abstract
The case of a 22-year-old woman presenting with progressive low back pain as a result of a recurrent osteoblastoma of the body of L3, is reported. Total spondylectomy together with anterior and posterior fusion was carried out in a two-stage procedure. We highlight the rarity of the site of occurrence of osteoblastoma, the difficulty in diagnosis and the fact that a radical treatment needs to be performed.
