Giant Cell Tumor of the Frontal Bone Presenting as an Orbital Mass
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 10-year-old male was referred for evaluation of a right orbital mass present for 3 weeks with associated tenderness to palpation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography imaging (CT) revealed a solid mass centered in the frontal bone with extension into the orbit. Surgical excision and histologic analysis of the lesion was consistent with a diagnosis of a Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) of the frontal bone. The patient tolerated the procedure without complication and is doing well upon follow-up.

متن کاملA very rare case of metachronous multicentric giant cell tumor of bone with benign lung metastasis in form of a very large mass lesion
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 کاملGiant Cell Tumor of Bone - an Overview
Giant Cell tumors (GCT) are benign tumors with potential for aggressive behavior and capacity to metastasize. Although rarely lethal, benign bone tumors may be associated with a substantial disturbance of the local bony architecture that can be particularly troublesome in peri-articular locations. Its histogenesis remains unclear. It is characterized by a proliferation of mononuclear stromal ...
