Giant cell tumor (GCT) is classified as a benign bone tumor, and it is frequently identified at the epiphysis of long bones and relatively rare in the temporal bone. For orthopedists expert at recognizing bone and soft tissue tumors, the diagnosis of GCT is relatively easy; however, since head and neck surgeons experience few cases of GCT, it may be difficult to diagnose when it occurs in the temporal bone. A 32-year-old man complained of left hearing loss, aural fullness, and tinnitus. Examination of the ear revealed a bulging tumor. Audiologic examination demonstrated conductive hearing loss of the left ear. Computer tomograph of the temporal bone showed a soft-tissue-density specification indicating bone destruction at the left temporal bone. The tumor invaded the skull base. Imaging examinations using magnetic resonance imaging revealed a nonhomogenous isosignal intensity area on T1 at the left temporal bone. After intravenous gadolinium, the mass showed unequal enhancement. This patient subsequently underwent surgery to remove the lesion using transmastoid and middle fossa approach. Pathological examinations from specimens of the tumor revealed characteristic of GCT. No clinical or radiological evidence of tumor recurrence was detected for 4 years.

Background: Both primary and metastatic tumors in the foot and ankle have been reported as rare. The purpose of this study was to describe 153 cases of foot and ankle tumors from a 20-year experience in a tertiary referral center specializing in orthopaedic oncology. It is the largest reported series of both bone and soft tissue tumors in the foot and ankle. Materials and Methods: Between 1986 and 2006, a retrospective chart review was performed of a total of 2,660 tumors surgically treated in all anatomic sites by a single surgeon at a musculoskeletal tumor referral center. Results: One hundred fifty-three patients (5.75%) with bone and/or soft tissue tumors of the foot and ankle were treated. There were 84 women and 69 men. The patients' ages ranged from 1 to 84, with a median age of 30 and mean of 33.2. The tissue types included 80 soft tissue and 73 bone tumors. Overall, 60 (39.2%) were malignant, and 93 (60.8%) were benign. The most common diagnosis was giant cell tumor. In addition, giant cell tumor was the most common bone tumor, while pigmented villonodular synovitis and giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath were the most common soft tissue tumors. Conclusion: The incidence of tumors of the foot and ankle in this series of a single surgeon over a 20-year practice was 5.75%. The results of this study reaffirm that awareness, correctly diagnosing, and appropriately treating or referring to an orthopaedic oncologist may help with an improved outcome for patients.

ABSTRACT Aim To present a case of recurrence of giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT TS) and its management. Background The GCT TS is a solitary benign soft tissue tumor of the limbs. It usually appears as an enlarging painless mass and has a synovial origin. The GCT TS is approximately 1.6% of all soft tissue tumors. The GCT TS of tibialis posterior is very rare, and recurrence has not been reported. Case report A 21-year-old male patient presents with complaint of swelling over right ankle since 3 years. Patient was operated for swelling 10 years back, and histological examination revealed GCT TS. Patient was asymptomatic for 3 years after operation and then developed swelling since last 3 years. On local examination, hypertrophic scar mark 1 × 4 cm was present at right medial malleolus. Ultrasonography of right medial malleolus and magnetic resonance imaging were done for further evaluation. Under spinal anesthesia and tourniquet control, medial approach was taken extending from 7 cm above the medial malleolus posterior to the tibia up to the talar head. Tissue was cleared and was sent for histopathology, which confirmed the diagnosis of GCT TS. Patient is on regular follow-up since then, and there has not been any recurrence. Conclusion Though rare, recurrence of GCT TS can occur, and it should be properly investigated and completely excised. Clinical significance Though recurrence of GCT TS is rarely reported, it needs to be dealt with a high index of suspicion and treated aggressively.
