Abstract Background Giant cell tumor (GCT) of capitate is a rare lesion that is challenging to treat. Case Description We present a case of a 12-year-old girl suffering from a GCT of the capitate. Wide excision combined with adjuvant treatment including hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, tricortical bone grafting, and limited midcarpal and carpometacarpal fusion achieved good functional result without evidence of tumor recurrence or radiocarpal degeneration at 8 years postoperatively. Clinical Relevance In this case with long-term follow-up, surgical treatment of capitate GCT with limited midcarpal and carpometacarpal fusion led to a satisfactory outcome despite the alteration of wrist kinematics.

<p>Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare lesion of neural origin and uncertain nature. It can be a true neoplasm, a degenerative metabolic process or a proliferation trauma-induced. In general, it appears as a singular benign lesion, however, there are rare cases that are malignant multicentric forms. The most frequent orofacial localization is the tongue.  The aim of this report was to describe a case of GCT occurring on  the soft palate. Patient presented a discrete and asymptomatic nodule for approximately eight months. Definitive diagnosis of granular cell tumor was established by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. The case illustrates the occurrence of granular cell tumor in an unusual region and emphasizes the importance of including this entity in differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors in otherwise locations besides the tongue. </p>

✓ A giant cell tumor involving the vertex of the skull is described in a 3-year-old child with no history of head trauma. The mass was present approximately 4 months prior to resection. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of highly cellular tissue composed of oval to spindle-shaped stromal cells admixed with numerous multinucleated giant cells. Giant cell tumor of the skull is a rare lesion, usually involving the sphenoid or temporal bone in adults. The differential diagnosis is discussed with reference to the literature regarding giant cell lesions, especially of the cranium. The authors are unaware of previous reports of a similar lesion in this location in such a young child.

This report represents a case of unusual large size congenital granular cell tumor appearing on the maxillary alveolar ridge in a newborn. Positive staining was found for S-100 protein. The authors discuss the clinical picture, histological findings, etiology and treatment of this rare lesion.

Primary giant-cell tumor of the salivary gland is a rare lesion with an incompletely characterized histogenesis. To the best of our knowledge, only 16 cases have been previously documented in the English-language literature. We report a new case, which occurred in a 75-year-old man who presented with a parotid mass and cervical lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent a left total parotidectomy and cervical lymph node dissection. As far as we know, ours is the only reported case of a primary giant-cell tumor of the salivary gland in which the patient presented with lymph node metastasis. Because so little is known about giant-cell tumor of the salivary gland, we use the occasion of this case report to describe the cytologic, histologic, and immunohistochemical characteristics that we observed.

We have reported the maturation of an intracisternal A-type particle in murine plasma cell tumor cultures and three human tumor cell cultures (rhabdomyosarcoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and osteogenic sarcoma) after IUDR-DMSO activation. In all of these studies the A-type particle seems to develop into a form with an electron dense nucleoid, presumably mature, which is also intracisternal. A similar intracisternal A-type particle has been described in leukemic guinea pigs. Although no biological activity has yet been demonstrated for these particles, on morphologic grounds, and by the manner in which they develop within the cell, they may represent members of the same family of viruses.
