✓ A case of tenosynovial giant-cell tumor affecting the cervical spine is reported. The lesion is seen primarily in the fingers, knee, or ankle, and there are no previous reports of it occurring in the spine. The histological and radiological features of this tumor are discussed along with a brief description of the disease entity.

✓ 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.

✓ Villonodular synovitis is believed to be an inflammatory, proliferative reaction of synovial tissues. The case of a 65-year-old woman with a cervical epidural mass is presented in which histological examination showed that the lesion was villonodular synovitis, an extremely rare occurrence. Because of its cellularity and occasional multinucleated giant cells, villonodular synovitis may be confused with metastatic malignancies or giant-cell tumor of bone.

Brown tumor, an uncommon focal giant-cell lesion, arises as a direct result of the effect of parathyroid hormone on bone tissue in patients with hyperparathyroidism. The initial treatment involves the correction of hyperparathyroidism, which usually leads to tumor regression. We report a case of brown tumor of the right nasal fossa in a 71-year-old woman. The tumor had caused nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Laboratory evaluation revealed that the patient had primary hyperparathyroidism. Anatomicopathologic investigation revealed the presence of a giant-cell tumor. We performed a partial parathyroidectomy, but the tumor in the right nasal fossa failed to regress. One year later, we performed surgical resection of the lesion. The patient recovered uneventfully, and she remained asymptomatic and recurrence-free at the 1-year follow-up. Facial lesions with histologic features of a giant-cell tumor should be evaluated from a systemic standpoint. Hyperparathyroidism should always be investigated by laboratory tests because most affected patients are asymptomatic. Surgical resection of a brown tumor should be considered if the mass does not regress after correction of the inciting hyperparathyroidism or if the patient is highly symptomatic.
