Soft Tissue Giant Cell Tumour of Low Malignant Potential: A Rare Tumour at a Rare Site

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...

Sinonasal Teratocarcinosarcoma- A Rare Tumour not so Rarely Misdiagnosed

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (STCS) is a rare, morphologically heterogeneous and highly aggressive tumour of ambiguous origin. It is characterized by the presence of benign and malignant epithelial, mesenchymal and neuroectodermal components. Because of their rarity and heterogeneity, these lesions are often misdiagnosed, leading to management difficulties. Adequate sampling with a high index...

Granular cell tumour developing in the background of a previous mandibular giant cell lesion: Case report

INTRODUCTION Granular cell tumours of the mandible are very rare. We present a unique case which has developed at the site of a previous giant cell lesion. PRESENTATION 51 year old Caucasian lady had excision of a recurrent giant cell lesion of the anterior mandible. Follow up showed evidence of radiographic recurrence. However, further biopsies from the same site showed granular cell tumour ...

Features of a giant cell tumour of the parotid gland: A case report

A giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign tumour that commonly arises in the distal end of the long bones. Extraosseous GCTs have been reported in a number of organs, but it is rare for a GCT to present in the parotid gland. Therefore, primary GCTs of the parotid gland (GCTPs) are extremely rare. Although GCTPs have been identified as benign soft-tissue tumours, they have a highly malignant potenti...
