Tumour of Humerus

Giant cell tumour of the distal humerus: a case report.

Giant cell tumour of the distal humerus is rare. We report one such case in a 30-year-old man who underwent wide resection of the tumour followed by total elbow arthroplasty using a cemented 'sloppy-hinged' total elbow prosthesis. At the 18-month follow-up, the patient had pain-free range of motion of 15º to 120º and no evidence of recurrence.

Recurrent Giant cell tumour in distal Humerus: A Case report

INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumour of bone (GCT) is a common benign primary bone tumour, seen commonly in the distal Femur, proximal Tibia and distal Radius. Very few cases of GCT are reported in distal humerus. We report an unusual presentation of recurrent Giant cell tumour in a 25 year old male in the medial condyle and epicondyle of left Humerus. CASE SERIES Patient presented elsewhere with l...

Mega Tumour (Chondrosarcoma) of Humerus – an Insanely Large Tumor and its Social Implications

INTRODUCTION Large size bone tumors are rare as patients present quite early. The current article reports a large chondrosarcoma removed from left humerus. The rarity of such large size tumors is focus of the report. CASE REPORT Forty year old male presented with a huge mass in this left arm. The same patient apparently was admitted three years back for excision of the arm swelling which was ...

Giant cell tumour of humerus: an unexpected lesion in a skeletally immature patient with Hodgkin's disease.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone is a benign aggressive tumour of the bone. It typically presents in persons aged 20 - 40 years. It is rare in adolescents and children. In most cases, GCT of bone occurs in the metaphyseal and epiphyseal regions of long bones. However, in children with open physes, GCT of bone may be centered in the metaphysis and may abut the physis. GCT is most commonly found i...
