Introduction: Tumor and pseudotumor (TP) at the proximal femur (PF) can seriously affect mortality, extremity function, and body integrity. However, reports often focused on a specific tumor, not regional lesions. This study focuses on clinical findings, imaging, micro-pathology, and the treatment of all TP at the site. Methods: The study involved all patients who had a confirmed tumor or pseudotumor diagnosis at the PF. The clinical findings, X-ray, and biopsy were recorded and analyzed. Treatment was optional depending on the patient's situation and available condition of the hospital. The functional outcome, bone healing were defined at the last examination or two years of follow-up. Results: Fifty patients were involved in the study. Twenty-four patients had apparent tumors. TP at the PF, neck-trochanter, trochanters, and neck were 21 (42%), 16 (32%), 9 (18%), and 4 (8%) cases, respectively. There were 29 (58%) pathologic fractures. Biopsy was made for all patients. Twenty-three cases (46%) were malignant, and 8 (16%) cases were giant cell tumors. Thirtythree patients suffered from an operation. Ennerking's functional score was excellent, good, fair, and poor in 24 (48%), 5 (10%), 1 (2%), and 20 (40%) patients, respectively. For the last outcomes of 33 operated patients, 17 healed, three unchanged, one worse, and two dead. Conclusions: For the PF TP, the rate of malignant and pathological fracture was high. The giant cell tumor was not rare. The resection of the TP combined with grafts using ordinary fixation devices was satisfactory.

Specific Symptoms

The concept of localized and diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TSGCT) is recent and may still cause some confusion among surgeons. This disorder constitutes a family of proliferative lesions characterized by their origin in the articular synovium, tendon sheaths, or bursa. It is not always easy to diagnose this pathology, especially due to its multitude of presentation. We describe an incidentally found localized TSGCT intra-articularly located in the shoulder. The localized lesions are considered a more benign form that usually present not with specific symptoms but rather a manifestation of the disturbance in the affected joint or the surrounding soft tissues. MRI is indispensable for its diagnosis, and the standard treatment is complete surgical resection. Due to its low incidence, it is difficult to find literature that goes beyond clinical reports or small case series. With this report, we intend to call readers’ attention for the variable presentations, the different diagnostic and treatment strategies, and the expected outcomes.
