Abstract
Benign bone-forming tumors of the spine are uncommon. Most patients in our series underwent a piecemeal resection with intralesional margins. This remains safe with a low local recurrence rate. En bloc excision may provide more chance of complete excision of the nidus but is not mandatory. The importance of complete excision of the nidus cannot be overemphasized.
