Giant cell tumour of bone is an uncommon bone tumour.
General
Features:[1]
- Approximately 5% of primary bone tumours.
- Typical age: 20-45 years.
Clinical
- Location: growth plate of long bones.[2]
- May present with joint pain, immobility.
Note:
- Several types of giant cell tumours exist.
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Giant cells with a large number of nuclei (usu. >10 in the plane of section).
- Usu. have prominent nucleoli.
- Mononuclear cells and small multinucleated cells with nuclei similar to those in the giant cells - key feature.
- +/-Hemosiderin deposition - not common.[4][5]
Notes:
- Giant cells typically present in abundance.
DDx:
- Giant cell lesions.
- Aneurysmal bone cyst - typically has spindle cells around the giant cells.
