Rib Giant Cell Tumour

چکیده
A 55 year old woman was admitted because of a slowly growing chest mass. A diagnosis of giant cells tumor (GCT) was made. In sharp contrast to other large bone metaphysis it accounts for < 1 % of all primary rib’s neoplasias. The resection included one normal adjacent rib above and below the tumour with all intervening intercostals muscles and pleura and the adjacent cartilages. Reconstruction of the defect in the chest wall required. The standard goal of treatment is surgery and the major prognosis factor is complete resection. Authors consider the rarity location of this entity worth to publish.

Giant cell tumour of the anterior arc of a rib presenting as a breast lump: a case report.
Giant cell tumour (GCT) of the anterior arc of a rib is a very rare occurrence and quite often the diagnosis is delayed. We report a case of GCT of a rib arising from the anterior arc which presented as a breast lump. The diagnosis of GCT was considered in the differentials only when percutaneous biopsy revealed multinucleated osteocleastic giant cells. Further diagnosis was confirmed by spotte...

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...

Follow-up radiographs of the distal radius revealed consolidation of the grafted bone and hydroxyapatite, and no recurrence of the lesion (Fig 2). A brown tumour presents with areas of radiolucency particularly in the facial bones, pelvis, ribs and femur (Doğan et al., 2004). Our patient had an unusual location of this disorder although this has been documented before (Resnick, 1974). As usual,...
متن کاملGiant Cell Tumor Arising from Anterior Arc of the Rib
A primary giant cell tumor of the rib is very rare. The most common site of a giant cell tumor arising from the rib is the posterior arc. A giant cell tumor arising from the anterior arc of the rib is extremely rare. The treatment of a giant cell tumor of the rib is not well defined. Generally, a complete surgical resection is performed in a patient with a primary giant cell tumor of the rib. W...
متن کامل[Liposarcoma--a rare primary neoplasm of the thorax].
Liposarcoma is a rare tumour localised within the thorax. It can originate from a different thoracic structures (for example: lung parenchyma, mediastinum, pleura) or thoracic wall. We present a case of a 35-year-old woman with a giant tumour of the left hemithorax, who had two weeks history of non-productive cough and progressive dyspnoea from eight months. Chest radiography showed a large, ro...
