Clinical, radiological and pathological correlation of giant cell tumor of rib Warpe B1, Thakur S2 1Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology, Grant Government Medical College, Mumbai-400008 2Resident Doctor, Noble Hospital Pune * bhushan.warpe@gmail.com
Online published on 9 November, 2015. Abstract Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a primary benign neoplasm of bone accounting for 5% of all skeletal tumors. Although considered benign, it has propensity for local recurrence, distant metastasis as well as malignant transformation. GCTs of bone usually arise in the epiphyseal region of the limbs, and rarely it affects the ribs. We report a case 52-year-old male who presented with left sided rib mass. Total excision of rib mass with thoracic reconstruction with prolene mesh was done. Microscopic examination of the mass showed features of giant cell tumor. Authors consider the rarity location of this entity along with unusual clinical presentation worth to publish. Top Keywords Giants cell, Benign, metastasis, Epiphyseal. Top | |
