background:  giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (gctts) is often thought of as a volar finger mass. we hypothesized that gctts are equally common on the dorsal and volar aspects of the hand. in addition, we hypothesized that there are no factors associated with the location (volar versus dorsal) and largest measured dimension of a gctts.  methods:  a total of 126 patients with a pathological dia...

two rare cases of extra-articular diffuse variant giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath are presented, at the elbow of a 68-year-old female and the foot of a 56-year-old male. both patients presented with a palpable masses and marginal excision was performed; histological sections confirmed the diagnosis of extra-articular giant cell tumor. no adjuvant therapy was administered. at the last foll...

Giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. At present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...

background: although giant cell tumor (gct) is considered to be a primary benign bone tumor, its aggressive behavior makes its diagnosis and treatment, difficult and challenging. this is especially true in distal radius where gct appears to be more aggressive and difficult to control locally. we report our clinical outcome of en-block resection and reconstruction with non-vascularized fibular a...

two new cases of aneurysmal bone cyst of the spine are presented. in one of them only the spinous process was involved, and in the second case mthe neural arch and the body were involved. a brief review of the literature with clinical, radiological and pathilogical features of this benign lesion is made and its differential diagnosis, specially from giant cell tumor of the spine emphasised.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Giant cell lesions as a group of the oral and maxillofacial lesions are common and potentially destructive. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of oral lesions containing giant cells in a 22-year period in Isfahan Dental School, Iran.METHODS: In this epidemiological, cross-sectional, retrospective study the archive information in the Department of Oral Patholog...
