Abstract

The clinical presentation and behaviour of giant cell tumour of bone vary. The progression of the disease and metastasis are unpredictable, but the overall prognosis is good. Six patients with pulmonary metastases of giant cell tumour have been treated at our institution since 1998. This represents 15% of all patients treated for giant cell tumour of the bone. Early detection and treatment of this tumour is important as complete resection of this tumour have favourable prognosis. Multiple lung nodules which preclude resection may remain dormant and asymptomatic with systemic chemotherapy.
