Synchronous multicentric giant cell tumor.

چکیده
Multicentric giant cell tumors represent less than 1% of all giant cell tumors of bones. We report a case of multicentric giant cell tumors around both the knee joints in a mentally and physically challenged adult male that resulted in rapidly progressive painful swelling, restricted mobility and, ultimately, fixed deformity. These tumors had typical radiological appearance and the diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign, locally aggressive tumour of the bone that accounts for 5% of primary bone tumours and 21% of benign bone tumours. This tumour more commonly presents as a single (solitary) lesion; however, it may appear with multiple (multicentric) lesions in less than 1% of the cases. According to the literature, 1-9% of solitary GCTs metastasizes to the lung, more commonl...

متن کاملSynchronous Multicentric Giant Cell Tumour (GCT)-A Rare Case Report.
Giant Cell Tumours (GCT) of bone account for 5% of all primary bone tumours. Multicentric variety is a rare variant of this condition, accounting for less than 1% of all cases and can occur as synchronous or metachronous lesions. We report a 22-year-old male patient with 18 months history of painful progressive swellings around the right knee. Radiographs revealed expansile lytic lesions in the...
متن کاملMetachronous multicentric giant cell tumor in the spine: a case report and review of published reports
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) of bone commonly affect a single bone. Most of vertebral lesions occur in the sacrum rather than in the spine above the sacrum. Multicentric GCTs are rare. They may occur synchronously or metachronously and therefore may be identified at the same time in different anatomic locations or at different times in different anatomic locations. Synchronous tumors reportedly occ...
