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...

Giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone is a benign aggressive tumour of the bone. It typically presents in persons aged 20 - 40 years. It is rare in adolescents and children. In most cases, GCT of bone occurs in the metaphyseal and epiphyseal regions of long bones. However, in children with open physes, GCT of bone may be centered in the metaphysis and may abut the physis. GCT is most commonly found i...
متن کاملAssociation of HLA-DRB1 alleles with giant cell tumour of bone.
AIM To examine the possible influence of the MHC class II antigens alleles in the formation of the multinucleate aggressive giant cell tumour of bone. METHODS HLA class II antigen alleles were investigated in eight white patients from north east England with confirmed diagnosis of giant cell tumour of bone. All had locally aggressive, immunophenotypically HLA-DR negative giant cell tumours. ...
