Giant Cell Tumor of Bone is an uncommon aggressive benign neoplasm that frequently affecting the epiphysis of long bones especially around the knee. This is a singular rare case of GCTB in the right maxillary sinus implicated in a process coincidentally or casually with another type of lesion primarily developed.

SUMMARY:The clinical and histological features of two cases of giant cell tumor of the sphenoid bone are described. Both presented with similar symptoms and signs, comparable to previously described cases. The problems in histological differential diagnosis are discussed and radiotherapy as the treatment of choice is suggested.

Objective: To investigate the ultrasonogram characteristics of common lumps in hand and foot, pursuing for greater understanding of hand and foot lumps. Methods: 65 cases of ultrasonographic characteristics of lumps in hand and foot were retrospectively analyzed, including the location, size, shape, boundary, internal echo and posterior echo, surrounding relationship and blood flow. Results: Among 65 cases, there were 26 cases of tendon sheath cyst, 16 cases of tenosynovitis giant cell tumor, 10 cases of hemangioma, 4 cases of tendon sheath fibroma, 3 cases of epidermoid cyst, 2 cases of Schwannoma, 2 cases of fibrolipoma, 1 case of angiolipoma and 1 case of neurofibroma. The preoperative and postoperative pathological diagnoses of 45 cases, accounting for 69.23%, were consistent, 3 cases (4.62%) were misdiagnosed, which included that 2 cases of tenosynovitis giant cell tumor were misdiagnosed as tendon sheath cyst, 1 case of neurofibroma as epidermoid cyst, and the preoperative diagnosis of the rest 17 cases(26.15%) were indefinite. Conclusion: The high-frequency ultrasound can diagnose properties of lumps in foot and hand well, providing diagnosis basis for further treatment in clinic.

Introduction: Giant cell tumor of bone involves the epiphysis of long bones  commonly. Axial skeleton is the rare site for the tumor. Metastasis of this tumor is very rare which is seen in lungs, lymph nodes and liver. It is extremely rare to find metastasis in the occipital bone. Material and method: A retrospective study of giant cell tumor of bone was done over a period of two years. We found a total of 65 cases in the study period. Each case was analysed according to age, sex and site. Result: A total of 65 cases were studied in two year period. Most of the cases (49.23%) were seen in the third decade and had a little female predilection (55.38%). The most common location in our study was around the knee (70.77%) followed by distal radius and proximal humerus. We also had two cases involving  rare location i.e. C7 vertebra and temporal bone. Interestingly one of our cases also presented with pulmonary metastasis followed by occipital bone metastasis six and twenty year after primary tumor respectively.  Conclusion: Giant cell tumor of bone is a tumor of epiphysis of long bones but can be found in other parts of  other bones too. It is a benign tumor but has the potential for distal metastasis so follow up of  the patients is required especially in case of primary tumor of upper limbs. Keywords: Giant cell tumor, Rare location, Skull metastasis.
