Abstract Objectives: 1) To describe a systematic process for giant cell tumours of bone (GCTB). 2) To compare the clinical effects of ‘triple clear’ (TC) and segmental resection (SR), bone grafts and bone cement.Method: Patients with primary GCTB graded Companacci II and III who were treated with either SR (n = 39) or TC (n = 41) were included. The pain level was determined by the Visual Analogue Scale. Limb function was determined by the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) score.Result: The operating time was 135.7±38.4 min in the TC group and 174.2±43.0 min in the SR group (P<0.05). The recurrence rates were 7.3% and 10.0%, respectively (P = 0.37). The MSTS scores at three months after surgery were 19.8±1.5 in the TC group and 18.8±1.5 in the SR group. The MSTS scores at two years were 26.3±0.7 and 24.2±1.6, respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion: TC is recommended for GCTB graded Companacci II-III and GCTB accompanied by pathological fracture or joint invasion. Bone grafts may be more suitable than bone cement in the long term.

Background. Pediatric giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is rare and the course of the disease in the immature skeleton is sparsely described. We performed a retrospective study addressing symptoms, treatment, and outcome in children with GCT.Methods. Review of medical records and images of patients with GCT. Patients were detected from our hospital prospective database and those with open epiphyseal cartilages were included.Results. 16 children (75% girls) from 6 to 15 years old were identified. Eight lesions (50%) were in long bones and 4 (25%) in flat bones. One lesion appeared to be purely epiphyseal. All patients had pain as the initial symptom. Local recurrence developed in 2 patients. 14 of 16 patients returned to normal activity with no sequelae. One patient developed anisomelia after surgery.Conclusions. The biological tumor behavior in children does not seem to differ from what is reported in adults. Lesions in flat bones are very unusual, but our data alone do not provide enough evidence to conclude that this is more common in the immature skeleton. Literature review showed only one previous case report describing a purely epiphyseal GCT. Intralesional curettage is appropriate treatment and gives good functional results with acceptable recurrence rates.

The morphological criteria of giant cell tumor and the different ways of the run of the disease were designated as the result of collation between the histopathologic feature with the clinicoradiographic dates and the long-term results of treatment of 101 of patients. These findings promote a better collaboration of pathologist and surgeons. In future these results could be used for creating an algorithm of determination of the surgery extent and treatment approach.

In this review, we highlight the complexities of the natural history, biology, and clinical management of three intermediate connective tissue tumors: desmoid tumor (DT) or aggressive fibromatosis, tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) or diffuse-type pigmented villonodular synovitis (dtPVNS), and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). Intermediate histologies include tumors of both soft tissue and bone origin and are locally aggressive and rarely metastatic. Some common aspects to these tumors are that they can be locally infiltrative and/or impinge on critical organs, which leads to disfigurement, pain, loss of function and mobility, neurovascular compromise, and occasionally life-threatening consequences, such as mesenteric, bowel, ureteral, and/or bladder obstruction. DT, PVNS, and GCTB have few and recurrent molecular aberrations but, paradoxically, can have variable natural histories. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for optimal management. In DT and PVNS, a course of observation may be appropriate, and any intervention should be guided by symptoms and/or disease progression. A surgical approach should take into consideration the infiltrative nature, difficulty in obtaining wide margins, high recurrence rates, acute and chronic surgical morbidities, and impact on quality of life. There are similar concerns with radiation, which especially relate to optimal field and transformation to high-grade radiation-associated sarcomas. Systemic therapies must be considered carefully in light of acute and chronic toxicities. Although standard and novel therapies are promising, many unanswered questions, such as duration of therapy and optimal end points to evaluate efficacy of drugs in clinical practice and trials, exist. Predictive biomarkers and novel clinical trial end points, such as volumetric measurement, magnetic resonance imaging T2 weighted mapping, nuclear imaging, and patient-reported outcomes, are in development and will require validation in prospective trials.
