Giant Cell Tumor in an Immature Skeleton

چکیده
We report a case of giant cell tumor occurring in a 12-year-old girl. Radiographs revealed a radiolucent lesion in the proximal epi-metaphysis of the right fibula, which was initially diagnosed as an aneurysmal bone cyst. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an expansile intramedullary lesion with focal multiloculated fluid-fluid levels and also solid mass in the proximal metaphysis. The latter solid component also extended into the proximal fibular epiphysis. Following the magnetic resonance imaging, the diagnosis was revised to giant cell tumor with focal aneurysmal bone cyst changes, which was subsequently confirmed histopathologically following surgery. The unusual occurrence, location, imaging features, and differential diagnosis of osseous giant cell tumor in the immature skeleton were

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 ...

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...
