Granular cell tumour of the spinal cord in a patient with Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome.

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. Complete excision of the tumour could not be achieved owing to its location. It subsequently recurred and was treated with radiotherapy. The patient made a complete recovery with no further recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.
