Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a benign primary bone neoplasm that usually occurre in the long bones. The skull is affected in only 1% of cases, predominantly in the sphenoid and temporal bones. Maxillary sinus involvement is exceedingly rare. The case is a 26 year-old man presented with history of gradually increasing swelling in the right side of face without any history of trauma or systemic diso...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 there are a few case series of giant cell tumor (gct) in the spine and sacrum. gct in the thoracic vertebrae is even more exceptional in the medical literature. in this article we report a gct in a 25-year-old male who presented with progressive back pain and dyspnea. on contrast-enhanced multidetector computer tomography,...

the majority of osseous tumors of the hand are benign. the surgeon who evaluates and treats osseous tumors of the hand has to be familiar with limb anatomy, tumor biology, various presentations of the tumors and the range of treatment possibilities and their limitations. lesions in the hand more often present earlier in their course than those at other sites, just because they are more likely t...

a 26 year old woman attended to our hospital with multifocal giant cell tumor in different sites, one in distal end of right radius with aggresive behavior and amputation of the mid forearm and the second in the head of the right humerus with benign and non aggresive clinical appearance.

Phyllodes tumors are biphasic fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast. While the surgical management of these relatively uncommon tumors has been addressed in the literature, few reports have commented on the surgical approach to tumors greater than ten centimetres in diameter – the giant phyllodes tumor. We report a case of giant breast tumors and discuss the techniques utilized for pre-...

five cases of giant cell tumor of the lower end of radius are reported. three of the patients were women and two were men, the youngest of the patients was 18 years old and oldest 37 years. en bloc resection followed by reconstructive procedures were performed in three of the cases with good results.

 Abstract  Background: Resection of the distal end of the radius is indicated in the treatment  of locally aggressive primary benign and malignant bone tumors. The aim of this study  was to evaluate the technique of osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the distal radius after wide excision of a giant-cell tumor.  Methods: We analyzed 15 patients retrospectively who had reconstruction of t...
