A 15-year-old female presented with left-sided neck and shoulder pain for the past 1 year. Computed tomography scan and contrast magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass lesion at the C7 level suggestive of osteoblastoma. Tumor resection was performed along with posterior stabilization. At 1-year follow-up, the patient had no restrictions on daily activities, and to date, there has been no evidence of recurrence. In case of neck pain, which is persistent and accompanied by stiffness, deformity, or neurological deficit, especially in young adults, osteoblastoma of the cervical spine may be considered one of the differential diagnoses.
