Giant cell tumors are rarely seen in the foot. They can cause a significant amount of pain and deformity due to their aggressive and recurrent nature. We present the unusual case of a giant cell tumor of the distal phalanx of the hallux in a 39-year-old man. Levels of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV, Case Report

Abstract Background: Giant cell tumor of bone is a common primary borderline bone tumor, while giant cell tumor of bone in the extremities are generally not very large. Because most tumors have already been controlled by some treatments at the time of pain or finding the tumor. Huge giant cell tumors of bone in the limbs are very rare.Case presentation: We describe a case of a huge giant cell tumor of the proximal tibia with 6-year history and not receiving any treatment. It is not until the rupture and bleeding appeared that the patient is referred to the doctor, and amputation is the only treatment.Conclusions: This report suggests that although giant cell tumor of bone is a borderline tumor, early diagnosis and treatment are essential in order to improve patient prognosis.

Introduction: Giant cell tumors are rarely observed in the thoracic vertebrae. They appear between the ages of 20 and 50, more often in women. The purpose of this case report is to make known the clinical characteristics, the presentation and the treatment used to solve this pathology.Case presentation: 37-year-old female patient who presented a clinical picture of seven days of dyspnea, cough with white expectoration, high temperature, paraparesis, loss of control in the sphincters and weight loss. High-resolution computed tomography of the thorax showed a right paraspinal mass located in posterior mediastinum at T8-T9 level. Surgical excision of the tumor was decided by right posterolateral thoracotomy at the seventh intercostal space and free surgical margins. The histopathology report described giant cell tumor grade II. The patient did not require chemotherapy and had a satisfactory evolution.Discussion: This case has a non-specific presentation, as it shows evidence of pain, tumor and functional impotence of the involved region. Surgery is the best treatment and consists of tumor excision, leaving wide margins to prevent recurrences.Conclusions: Giant cell tumors involving the lungs and thoracic vertebrae are underdiagnosed due to their nonspecific symptoms and the limited literature currently available.

Introduction: Giant cell tumors (GCTs) of the bone are uncommon primary bone neoplasms that occur mainly in the epiphysis of long bones. GCT of the femoral head is rarely encountered. Case Report: We report a rare case of GCT of the femoral head in a 20-year-old female. The patient presented with pathological fracture. The patient underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this paper is to present a case study with pathological fracture of the femoral head and to report the results of a literature review. Conclusion: The treatment of choice for GCT of the proximal femur is a hip arthroplasty with either a standard THA for small confined tumors or endoprosthesis insertion for more extensive tumors. Joint preserving procedures have a high revision rate (47.06%). Denosumab has been tried as a neoadjuvant treatment with some success in certain cases. Keywords: Giant cell tumor, pathological fracture, arthroplasty.
