Multiple giant cell tumors of bone arising from multiple fatty tumors

Alireza Eajazi et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

We describe a patient with a history of giant cell tumor who over the course of 18 years developed multiple fat containing osseous lesions in the pelvis and spine. Two of these lesions subsequently evolved into biopsy proven giant cell tumor of bone. To our knowledge, this phenomenon of giant cell tumors evolving from fat containing lesions has not been described.

Keywords: Bone; Fatty tumor; Giant cell tumor (GCT); Multifocal; Recurrent.
