A case of massive benign osteoblastoma involving the clivus and atlas is reported. Usually, these tumours involve the posterior elements of a vertebra and are detected when small as a result of the usual presenting symptom of pain. The unusual site, massive size and presentation with neurological deficits are rare for benign osteoblastomas. The problems encountered in the surgical management of the patient are discussed.
