We report a case of tenosynovial giant cell tumor with severe bone erosion in the right fifth finger of a 46-year-old man. Throughout this case review, we describe the imaging findings of tenosynovial giant cell tumor with severe bone erosion and review the literatures regarding osseous lesions caused by tenosynovial giant cell tumor and their significance related to the differential diagnosis and patient treatment.

A primary giant cell tumor of the rib is very rare. The most common site of a giant cell tumor arising from the rib is the posterior arc. A giant cell tumor arising from the anterior arc of the rib is extremely rare. The treatment of a giant cell tumor of the rib is not well defined. Generally, a complete surgical resection is performed in a patient with a primary giant cell tumor of the rib. We report a case of a giant cell tumor arising from the anterior arc of the rib that was treated with a wide excision and chest wall reconstruction.

거대세포형 골육종은 드문 종양으로 거대세포종과의 구분이 어렵다. 이들 종양은 발생 부위 및 방사선학적 소견이 동일하다. 또한 이들 종양의 조직학적 소견도 구분이 어렵다. 이들 두 종양의 서로 다른 예후와 치료 방법 때문에 처음 진단시 반드시 정확한 진단을 내려야 한다. 본 논문은 처음 진단 당시 침생검에 의해 거대세포종으로 진단되었던 경골 근위부의 거대세포형 골육종의 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Giant cell tumor is the second most common benign neoplasm in upper extremity. Unlike usual chief complaint of painless mass, an atypical case with giant cell tumor presented a distinguishing characteristics of which accompany pain and tenderness and is histologically giant-cell free. Methods: A 31-year-old male patient complained of a rapid growing painful mass on the proximal phalanx of the left ring finger. Under microscopic operation, a $1.6{\times}1.3cm$ sized mass was found to be surrounded by areolar tissue and attached to a tendon sheath, encircling the digital nerve and artery. Diagnostic confirmation was assisted by positive finding in histologic immunohistochemical stain-CD68. Characteristic pathologic finding is an atypical distribution of spindle cells & histiocytes without giant cells in fascicular pattern. Results: Giant cell tumor was carefully removed under microscopic approach, while preserving digital nerve & artery. In postoperative 13th month, the patient presented with a 6mm of static two-point discrimination test, similar to that of the adjacent fingers. Conclusion: We report an atypical case with painful mass on tendon sheath, surrounding the digital nerve and artery that was diagnosed of giant cell tumor, but without giant cells on pathology. This case provides broader understanding of the giant cell tumor that should not only rely its typical findings of the painless mass and positive sign on H&E stain.

미만형 거대세포종은 상대적으로 국소형 거대세포종에 비해 드문 것으로 알려져 있으며 관절외 발생하는 경우는 극히 드물다고 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 삼각근 내에 발생한 미만형 거대세포종 1예를 경험하여 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

양성 거대세포종의 방사선 치료후 발생한 골육종은 드물지 않으나, 거대세포종의 수술적 처치후 자연적으로 악성 전환한 골육종은 매우 드문 질환으로 높은 사망률을 가지는 악성종양이다. 대퇴골 원위부에 발생한 양성 거대세포종을 소파술과 골이식술 또는 시멘트 충진술과 같은 수술적 치료후 추시기간 2년 1개월, 9년 8개월에 동일 부위에서 악성전환으로 인해 발생한 골육종 2례에 대하여 화학요법 및 광범위 절제술과 재건술로 치료하여 추시결과를 보고하는 바이다.

Giant cell tumor(GCT) occurs very unusually in the rib(less than 1% of GCT). We present the cytologic features of GCT of the rib. It showed multiple cellular clusters composed of characteristic, benign looking osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells and fibroblast-like mononuclear cells. The multinucleated giant cells contained numerous nuclei (average, 30 to 40 per cell, which were closely packed. The nuclei in giant cells were remarkably uniform and round to oval. The mononuclear, neoplastic stromal cells were elongated and spindle-shaped. There was no cytologically malignant portion in the tumor.

A case of fine needle aspiration cytology of an osteoclastic giant cell tumor of pancreas, which is an uncommon variant of ductal adenocarcinoma, is described. Aspirated tumor cells were characterized by three populations: (1) bland osteoclast like giant cells with multiple small, round nuclei with distinct nucleoli, and abundant cytoplasm, (2) Individually scattered or loosely clustered medium sized mononuclear tumor cells, having fine chromatin, smooth nuclear membrane, often prominent nucleoli, and high N/C ratio, (3) bland or atypical spindle shaped cells. Osteoid like lacy material was also seen on cell block section. The immunohistochemical studies using paraffin embedded cell block section showed positivities for vimentin and lysozyme in both giant and mononuclear turner cells. However, they were negative for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, S-100 protein, carcinoembryonic antigen, and p53.

The giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is very rarely present inside the knee joint. The authors report a case of intraarticular giant cell tumor of tendon sheath arising from posterior cruciate ligament which was successfully excised arthroscopically using posterior trans-septal portal at the time of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.
