The Giant-Cell Tumour of Bone
نویسنده
چکیده
Amongst all the controversies regarding the classification of osteogenic neoplasms, the giantcell tumour, under one name or another, has always remained a distinct entity. In fact, the subject of contention in this connection has been the nomenclature of this distinct variety of tumour formation in the bone which, though locally destructive, practically never presents any of the general features of malignancy. It has been very widely known as the myeloma of bone, but to differentiate its origin from the osteopoietic tissue of the bone as distinctfrom the multiple myeloma arising from the hemopoietic tissue in the bone-marrow this term has been found to be rather unsatisfactory. The appendage of sarcoma as in myeloid sarcoma and giant-celled sarcoma is a

A 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.

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 ...
