Background Surgical access to benign neoplastic lesions of the femoral head are associated with significant morbidity, including contamination of intra-osseous access tracks, articular cartilage lesions, avascular bone necrosis or tumour recurrence due to incomplete curettage. Case presentation We present a case of a 20-year-old female with a giant cell tumour in the femoral head, which was treated with curettage through a trans-foveal approach and bone grafting. This technique includes a surgical dislocation of the hip with trochanteric osteotomy. Results At the latest follow-up at 2 years, there was no evidence of local recurrence or avascular necrosis on MRI, and the patient was pain free and back to sports.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) of bones in the hand is very rare, only 2% of all hand tumours, but unacceptably high recurrence rates (up to 90%) have been reported by several authors. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and enchondroma-mimicking characteristics. We report on a case of GCT of the middle phalanx of the left middle finger in a 49-year-old woman who underwent middle phalanx resection and reconstruction with bone grafting. At the 1-year follow-up, no evidence of recurrence was detected and the patient was pain-free.

Giant cell tumour arises from the synovium of tendon sheath, joints, or bursae,mostly affects adults between 30 and 50 years of age, and is slightly more common in females.Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath of tendoachilles is uncommon tumour. Usually it has a high rate of recurrence. In this article we report the case of a 32 year old female with Giant cell tumour of tendoachilles treated by excision with no reccurence after 7 months of follow up

Denosumab Treatment

We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a giant cell tumour (GCT) of the right maxilla and pterygoid process. The patient presented to the maxillofacial and head and neck surgery clinic with an ulcerated lesion of the hard palate. Initial workup with CT revealed a mass within the right maxillary sinus and pterygoid process with associated bone expansion and erosion. Biopsy showed a GCT with mucosal ulceration. Two years after surgical resection, a follow-up CT revealed tumour recurrence involving the right pterygoid process and lateral pterygoid muscle. The patient was then proposed for therapy with denosumab. Under denosumab treatment, the lesion maintained stable dimensions and became sclerotic and heavily ossified.

Successful Reduction

A case report of a 53-year-old woman with giant cell tumour of the sacrum is presented. Initial curettage was performed through a posterior approach and the patient was relieved of pain and discharged. However, 6 months later the patient was readmitted with a tumour that had progressed towards the L5 vertebra. A further curettage followed by adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in successful reduction of the tumour. Ten years after the operation, there was no recurrence or metastasis.

Long Term Prognosis

A case of giant cell tumour of the left fifth metacarpal with pulmonary and skeletal metastases is reported with follow-up of 14 years. The pulmonary metastases were treated by chemotherapy, but the size of the metastatic nodules continued to increase, and no further treatment was given. The pulmonary metastatic nodules started to regress 8 years after the diagnosis without any treatment, and had disappeared after 14 years. The skeletal metastases were unchanged at the latest follow-up. Both pulmonary and skeletal metastases have been asymptomatic for the 14 years after they were diagnosed. It is suggested that pulmonary metastases of benign giant cell tumour has a good long-term prognosis and these patients should be kept under observation only, avoiding extensive lobectomy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) is an uncommon primary bone tumour, and its multicentric presentation is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who presented to us with GCT of left distal radius. On the skeletal survey, osteolytic lesion was noted in her right sacral ala. Biopsy confirmed both lesions as GCT. Pulmonary metastasis was also present. Resection-reconstruction arthroplasty for distal radius and thorough curettage and bone grafting of the sacral lesion were done. Multicentric GCT involving distal radius and sacrum with primary sacral involvement is not reported so far to our knowledge.
