Metachronous multicentric giant cell tumor in the spine: a case report and review of published reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 occur more frequently than metachronous tumors. Multicentric GCTs affected vertebrae are extremely rare. The present report details the case of multicentric GCTs restricted to the spine with surgically proved. To our knowledge, this is the 3 case of reported multicentric GCTs restricted the spine so far.

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. According to the literature, 1-9% of solitary GCTs metastasizes to the lung, more commonl...

متن کاملGiant cell tumor of patella: A case report and review of literature
Objective: Patella is a sesamoid bone which develops in the quadriceps tendon. It is an uncommon site for neoplasms. The most common primary tumors which involve patella are benign. These include chondroblastoma, giant cell tumor (GCT) and aneurysmal bone cyst. Malignant lesions are less common in patella. These encompass metastasis, osteosarcoma and hemangioendothelioma. The most common compla...
