Abstract Background Repeat pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) considerably improves the prognosis of patients with pulmonary metastases of osteosarcoma. Reports have demonstrated a significantly improved prognosis in patients who have undergone repeat metastasectomy for osteosarcoma; however, there have been no reports with more than six metastasectomies. Herein, we describe the long-term survival of a patient following resection of multiple tumors and other treatments for metastatic osteosarcoma. Case presentation A 28-year-old woman underwent extensive resection and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for right tibial sarcoma. Over the years, she developed repeated pulmonary metastases. First, 116 metastases were removed from the bilateral lungs. After that, multiple PMs of approximately 250 tumors and other treatments for deep metastatic lesions were performed. The patient died of the underlying disease 24 years after the primary surgery. Conclusions This case report demonstrates the long-term survival benefit of a multidisciplinary treatment centered on multiple metastasectomies.

Abstract Background: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare benign but locally aggressive bone tumor. It has a high tendency for local recurrence, which may increase the occurrence of lung metastasis. Currently, the treatment of pulmonary metastases of GCTB is controversial. Denosumab is the preferred regimen for unresectable metastatic lesions, but there are no alternative treatment options when denosumab is resistant. So far, no case reports of metastatic GCTB treated with denosumab and apatinib have been published. Case presentation: This is a case report of a 26-year-old female who experienced right knee pain for over 6 months. Radiography and computed tomography revealed osteolytic bony destruction in the proximal right tibia. Using histological, radiological, and clinical techniques, a diagnosis of GCTB was achieved. Meanwhile, the immunohistochemical stain-identified the tumor cells were positive for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). After intralesional curettage of the primary tumor and wide resection of local recurrence surgeries, she developed recurrent hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography (CT) images showed multiple pulmonary nodules. She was administrated denosumab therapy but disease progression was confirmed after four months of treatment. She then received denosumab and apatinib therapy for 24 months, after a partial response was achieved.Conclusions: We depict a case of multiple pulmonary metastases of GCTB successfully controlled by denosumab and apatinib therapy. VEGFR-2 may be an effective therapeutic target for GCTB with pulmonary metastasis when denosumab is ineffective.
