Desmoplastic fibroma of the bone appears in a wide variety of bones but rarely involves the spine. A 24-year-old male with desmoplastic fibroma of the axis treated by complete resection and posterior spinal fusion is reported. There was no recurrence of the tumor three years after surgery. Complete resection and reconstructive surgery for spinal instability are recommended for this benign spinal tumor.
