Giant cell tumor of bone is considered by his behavior a benign but aggressive neoplasm. The objective of our study was to determine if there is a correlation between the Campanacci’s radiological classification of giant cell tumors of bone and the expression by immunohistochemistry of Cyclin D1 and proliferation cell nuclear antibody (PCNA). A retrospective and descriptive study was made. In total, there were 27 cases. All cases showed Cyclin D1 and PCNA positivity. Rho Spearman for Campanacci and Cyclin D1 expression was 0.06 and for Campanacci and PCNA was 0.418. We conclude that there is a positive correlation between PCNA expression in giant cell tumors of Bone and the Campanacci’s radiological classification II and III, butCyclin D1 expression was no related with radiologic features.

We describe a patient with a giant cell tumor in the talar head and neck of the left foot who was diagnosed as having osteochondritis dissecans and treated with arthroscopic drilling in this same location 3 years earlier. Giant cell tumors can be confused with several conditions, including giant cell reparative granulomas, brown tumors, and aneurysmal bone cysts. Giant cell tumors of bone typically occur in the epiphysis of long bones, including the distal femur and proximal tibia. They are uncommonly found in the small bones of the foot or ankle, and talar involvement is rare. Despite this rarity, the radiographic appearance and clinical signs of talar lesions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nontraumatic conditions in the foot.

Abstract Context.—Previous studies have demonstrated p63 overexpression in giant cell tumors of bone and advocate its use as a potential diagnostic marker. Although routine histology is often all that is required to diagnose giant cell tumor of bone, immunohistochemistry could prove useful to distinguish it from other benign and malignant giant cell–containing lesions of bone and soft tissue on needle biopsies and unusual clinical settings. Objective.—To assess p63 expression in giant cell–containing lesions of bone and soft tissue. Design.—p63 immunohistochemistry was performed in 23 giant cell tumors of bone, 8 primary aneurysmal bone cysts, 12 chondroblastomas, 4 giant cell reparative granulomas, 4 osteosarcomas, 15 tenosynovial giant cell tumors, 6 nonossifying fibromas, and 4 pigmented villonodular synovitides. Results.—p63 overexpression was identified in 20 of 23 giant cell tumors of bone (86.9%), 5 of 8 primary aneurysmal bone cysts (62.5%), 10 of 12 chondroblastomas (83.3%), 4 of 4 giant cell reparative granulomas (100%), 2 of 4 osteosarcomas (50%), 1 of 15 tenosynovial giant cell tumors (6.6%), 1 of 6 nonossifying fibromas (16.6%), and 1 of 4 pigmented villonodular synovitides (25%). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of p63 immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of giant cell tumor of bone were 86.95%, 53.36%, 45.45%, and 91.17%, respectively. Conclusions.—This study shows that although p63 is expressed by most giant cell tumors of bone, its lack of specificity limits its use as an immunohistochemical marker in the differential diagnosis of giant cell–containing lesions of bone and soft tissue.

Tumors Of Bone

The exact location of origin for giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) remains controversial, as lesions are not routinely imaged early but rather late when the tumor is large and clinically symptomatic. At the time of diagnosis, GCTB are classically described as lucent, eccentric lesions with nonsclerotic margins, located within the epiphysis to a greater extent than the metaphysis. Here we present a case of a biopsy proven GCTB initially incidentally seen on MRI as a small strictly metaphyseal lesion, which over the course of several years expanded across a closed physis to involve the epiphysis and abut the articular surface/subchondral bone plate.

Tumors Of Bone

Background: Giant cell tumor of bone is a locally aggressive, rarely metastasizing tumor that accounts for about 5% of bone tumors and generally occurs in patients between 20 and 45 years old. A driver mutation in the histone 3.3 (H3.3) gene H3F3A has been identified in as many as 96% of giant cell tumors of bone. The immunohistochemical expression of H3F3A H3.3 G34 expression was found in 97.8% of cases. In the present study, we describe our series of cases of giant cell tumor of bone in pediatric patients <16 years old. Methods: All cases of giant cell tumor of bone in pediatric patients <16 years old treated in our institute between 1982 and 2018 were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry and/or molecular analysis for H3F3A gene mutations was performed to confirm the diagnosis. A group of aneurysmal bone cysts in patients <16 years old was used as a control group. Results: Fifteen cases were retrieved. A pronounced female predominance (93%) was observed. A pure metaphyseal central location occurs in 2 skeletally immature patients. Conclusions: Giant cell tumor of bone should be distinguished from its mimickers due to differences in prognosis and treatment. Immunohistochemical and molecular detection of H3F3A gene mutation represents a reliable diagnostic tool.

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.

Preserve Function

Although it has yet to be determined which surgical procedure provides the least chance for recurrence, surgical treatment remains the preferred therapy for giant cell tumors of bone. Few cases of giant cell tumor of the tarsus have been reported in the literature, with less than 10 of these cases occurring in the cuneiforms. When the extent of the tumor is questionable, definitive radiologic techniques should be used to aid in the selection of the most appropriate surgical procedure. Follow-up radiographic examination is critical to ensure that the patient remains tumor free. Yearly chest x-rays are recommended to rule out pulmonary metastasis. Although giant cell tumors represent only 5% to 8% of all benign primary osseous neoplasms of the foot, they have the potential to undergo malignant transformation, increasing the morbidity and mortality to the patient. Giant cell tumors of bone are locally aggressive, often occurring adjacent to articular surfaces, and usually are large when diagnosed. It is essential for the surgeon to plan a treatment that not only minimizes the chance of recurrence, but also attempts to preserve function of the involved part.

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor

Tenosynovial giant cell tumors typically arise in the synovium of joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths. They may occur in an intra- or extra-articular location and can be divided into localized and diffuse types. The neoplastic nature of the lesion has been supported by a recurrent CSF1 gene rearrangement in a small subset of lesional cells, of which the most common fusion partner is COL6A3. Herein, we report a case of intramuscular localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor harboring a novel CSF1-CD96 fusion transcript, thus expanding the molecular profile of this tumor.

Background: Aggressive musculoskeletal tumors in the foot, such as diffuse-type giant cell tumors or extra-abdominal desmoid tumors, are difficult to treat because the foot does not have enough soft tissue to allow wide tumor resection. We reviewed the clinical behavior of diffuse-type giant cell tumor in the foot and evaluated the recurrence potential of these tumors from radiologic and pathologic perspectives. Methods: Six patients with a mean age of 37.6 years were included in this study. Radiologic studies, including sonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone and gallium citrate scintigraphy, were obtained followed by surgical treatment and histologic evaluation of the tumor. Results: Recurrence occurred in three patients. Although CT and MRI findings were similar in the recurrent and nonrecurrent tumors, marked differences were found between the two by scintigraphy; positive radiotracer uptake to the affected foot with gallium citrate scintigraphy was noted only in recurrent tumors, although positive accumulation was seen in all patients with bone scintigraphy. Histologically, the necrotic area and mitotic activity were more apparent in recurrent than in the nonrecurrent tumors, and tumor cell dyscohesion was noted in the former, (the intercellular space was increased). Conclusions: Repeated recurrence with tumor invasion into tarsal bone resulted in breakage of the tarsal arch that supports the body's weight. Amputation would be necessary for patients in whom the disease had progressed to obtain local cure and relief of pain. In the present study, we found two features of the recurrence potential of diffuse-type giant cell tumors: sparse cell to cell contact on pathologic examination and positive accumulation in the tumor on gallium citrate scintigraphy. We concluded that giant cell tumors with these two features have a strong potential for local recurrence, and thus require intensive followup.

True Neoplasm

Among the more uncommon tumors that may sometimes be encountered in the laryngeal region is the recently described giant cell tumor of the larynx. This lesion is a true neoplasm, presumably of the fibrohistiocytic series. Histologically, it closely resembles the more familiar true giant cell tumor of long bone. The laryngeal giant cell tumors appear, to date, to be nonmetastasizing lesions; it is possible that they may recur locally if incompletely excised (although this remains to be demonstrated). In view of the rarity of these tumors, a tentative diagnosis of such a neoplasm should always prompt consideration of other (more frequently encountered) differential diagnostic possibilities, including cytologically malignant giant cell-rich tumors such as malignant fibrous histiocytoma and sarcomatoid carcinoma.
