Giant cell tumours (GCT) are rare aggressive non-cancerous tumours which usually affect the long bones. We describe a case of GCT of the first rib in a young woman without a relevant history. The patient presented a left cervico-thoracic mass which was biopsied in our department (CT-guided biopsy). She was referred to the thoracic surgery department after histological results.

Giant Cell Tumours

AbstractGiant cell tumours of bone are most commonly found in the epiphyses of weight-bearing long bones. They are rarely found in the head and neck and only 17 cases involving the laryngeal framework have been reported. To date, there have been no reports of a giant cell tumour arising from the hyoid bone. We present such a case which presented as a lump overlying the greater cornu of the hyoid, review the literature and discuss the management of this locally aggressive tumour.

Giant cell tumour is a benign, but locally aggressive tumour. It most commonly affects the epiphysial-metaphyseal region of long bones, but rarely in flat bones. We present you a case of 26-year-old man with a large giant cell tumour of the inferior angle of the scapula. The patient was treated with partial scapulectomy with complete resection of tumour. There was excellent retention of shoulder function postoperatively.

A Prospective Study

Forty-three consecutive cases of giant cell tumour of tendon sheath were included in a prospective study. The tumours were classified into two main types, depending on whether the entire tumour was, or was not, surrounded by one pseudocapsule as assessed by the surgeon during surgery. Each type was then sub-classified according to the thickness of the capsule, lobulation of the tumour, the presence of satellite lesions, and the diffuse or multicenteric nature of the tumour: these factors were also assessed by the surgeon. The mean follow-up period was 4 (range, 2–6) years. None of the type I tumours ( n=30) recurred, but recurrence occurred in five out of 13 type II tumours. Second recurrences were seen with type II B and C, but not type II A tumours.

Diffuse Uptake

Ten patients with histologically proven giant cell tumour (biopsy) were imaged with 3-phase bone scanning, using 99m Tc-MDP. The perfusion (Phase I) and uptake (Phase III) were compared to the normal contralateral side and the rest of the skeleton was inspected for other abnormalities. Ninety per cent of lesions showed a doughnut-type pattern of uptake and presented with moderately increased perfusion (2.9 normal ± 0.7) and markedly increased uptake of tracer (7.5 normal ± 1.4). The patient with diffuse uptake had a pathological fracture.

Almost All

Giant cell tumours are aggressive lesions, albeit benign. Lesions in the hand, especially those arising from metacarpals require resection with adequate margins and definitive structural reconstruction to ensure preservation of hand architecture, function and cosmesis. Almost all the described reconstructive procedures require a stump of tumour free metacarpal base after resection, for reconstruction of the metacarpal. This report describes replacement of the entire metacarpal with a silastic prosthesis, in a case of giant cell tumour involving the entire metacarpal head and shaft to within 7 mm of the base.

Treatment Morbidity

The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of giant cell tumour of the hand bones in an Asian population, document treatment options and report outcomes of treatment. Of 698 giant cell tumours of bone that underwent surgery between January 2011 and December 2020 at our institute, only 22 (3%) were in the hand. Fourteen occurred in the metacarpals, eight in the phalanges. Fifteen were primary tumours and seven had recurrent disease. Twenty lesions had an associated soft tissue component. Two patients treated for primary disease and one who had been treated for recurrence had local recurrence. Recurrence occurred in two of nine patients treated with curettage, one of three with resection and none of five with ray or digit amputation. Both curettage and resection/amputation are acceptable treatment options for the rare condition of giant cell tumour of bone in the hand, with a need to individualize treatment decisions based on the site and extent of disease to minimize treatment morbidity while maximizing disease control. Level of evidence: IV

Risk Of Malignancy

Recurrent giant-cell tumours of bone have a higher risk of malignancy than primary giant-cell tumours of bone, and giant-cell tumours of bone in the hand are more likely to recur than those that arise elsewhere. Therefore, en bloc resection and reconstruction, or amputation, have been the accepted treatments for recurrent giant-cell tumours of bone in the hand. We describe two cases of successful transplantion of a metatarsal to a metacarpal, which was the site of a recurrent giant-cell tumour. The patients had satisfactory results 3 years later without problems in the foot. En bloc resection of the tumour and reconstruction with an autograft should be considered in the treatment of recurrent giant cell tumour of the hand.
