Two cases of giant cell tumor of bone diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology are described. Case 1 was a 28-year-old male who had pain sense for one year at the right distal thigh. His radiologic finding revealed a destructive cortical lesion with soft tissue extension at medial side of epiphysis of the distal femur. Case 2 was a 21-year-old female complaining pain at left distal forearm for eight months and showed a well-demarcated expansile osteolytic lesion with multiseptation, and cortical destruction at epiphysis and metaphysis of the left distal radius on the X-ray. Fine needle aspiration of each lesion was performed. The aspirate of the case 1 revealed moderate cellularity, which was composed of scattered giant cells of osteoclastic type and small round to oval monotonous stromal cells in large areas. Giant cells were evenly distributed in single or small groups and had irregular but abundant cytoplasms with 10 to 20 nuclei in the center. The nuclei showed ovoid shape, fine granular chromatin, and a small but conspicuous nucleolus. Stromal cells were dispersed in isolated pattern or sometimes aggregated in clusters and showed the same nuclei as those of giant cells and scanty cytoplasms. Comparing to case 1, case 2 had a more translucent abundant cytoplasm in the giant cells and more spindled stromal cells. All two cases revealed neither nuclear atypism nor increased abnormal mitoses In both giant and stromal cells, suggesting no evidence of malignancy. Thereafter the lesions were treated with excision and curettage, and histologically confirmed as giant cell tumors of the bone.

Purpose: The authors have experienced various lesions that simulate ganglion of the foot on the ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to evaluate ultrasonographic findings of soft tissue lesions, which were interpreted as ganglion but confirmed as different lesions in the foot. Materials and Methods: We reviewed a database of patients with ganglion on the ultrasonography from two different institutions. There were 109 patients who underwent both ultrasonography and surgical confirmation. Twenty one lesions were identified, of which initial interpretation on the ultrasonography included ganglion which pathology revealed to be different lesions. All images were evaluated by one musculoskeletal radiologist, regarding size, margins, internal echogenicity of lesions, and presence of posterior enhancement. Results: Of 21 lesions, there were 6 fibrous tumors including fibroma, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath, and fibromatosis, 3 hemangiomas, 2 epidermal inclusion cysts, 2 chondromas, 2 angioleiomyomas, 1 trichilemal cyst, 1 neurofibroma, 1 granular cell tumor, 1 neurilemmoma, 1 neuromyxoma, and 1 nodular hidradenoma. Mean size of the lesion was 1.1 cm. Margins were smooth in 10, mild lobulation in 8 and marked lobulation in 3 lesions. Lesions were hypoechoic in 16, anechoic in 4 and isoechoic in 1 case. Posterior acoustic enhancement was definitely present in 5 lesions. Conclusion: On the ultrasonography, various soft tissue lesions of the foot may be confused with ganglion. During surgical resection care should be given even to a simple ganglion as it might turn up to be a solid lesions such as fibrous tumors.

골의 거대세포종은 원발성 골 종양의 5-10%를 차지한다. 주로 20-40세 사이의 연령에서 많으며 90% 이상이 장골에 발생하지만 아주 드물게 수부나 족부 같은 편평골이나 단골에도 발생한다. 주요 증상은 동통이며 종종 병적 골절이나 심지어 연부 조직의 침범이 동반될 수있다. 방사선학적으로 골간단에 음영이 감소된 균질의 골 용해 소견이 보이며 주위에 반응성골 형성은 없다. 치료는 골 종양의 병기에 따라 차이가 있으며 재발율을 줄이고 침범 부위의 기능을 보존할 수 있는 수술적 치료가 필요하다. 비진행성 병기는 소파술후 골이식이나 골시멘트 충전을 할 수 있고 진행성 병기는 광범위 절제술후 관절 고정술이나 종양 대치물로 사지 구제술을 시행한다. 전이, 국소재발을 주기적으로 관찰해야 한다. 저자들은 족부의 외측 설상골에 발생한 거대 세포종을 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

비내분비성 골종양이나 연조직종양에서 유래되는 구루병이나 골연화증은 매우 드문질환으로 1947 년 이래로 14 명의 환자만이 보고되고 있다. 이 질환의 본태는 아직 밝혀지지 않았으나 종양에서 생성하는 인산염뇨유발성 물질이 신세뇨관에 영향을 주고 저인산염혈증을 일으키며 골조직의 석회화에 장애를 일으키는 것으로 생각된다. 본 증례의 환자는 약 4 년 전부터 지속된 심한 전신동통과 근육위축, 현저한 신장의 감소를 주소로 내원한 41 세 남자로 상악우측 치은부의 종양에 의한 전신적 골연화증의 진단하에 종양의 외과적적출을 시행하였으며 술후 환자의 혈청과 뇨의 생화학적결과는 12 일 후에 정상으로 회복되었고 임상증상은 수술후 6 주에 회복되었으며 4 달후에 촬영한 치과 방사선상 놀랄만한 골재생과 새로 형성된 치조백선의 형성이 관찰되었다. 적출된 종물은 거대세포육아종의 조직소견을 보였으며 종물의 적출에 의하여 골연화증의 치유소견이 관찰 되었기에 종양에 의한 골연화증의 회유한 증례로 사료되어 이에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of giant cell tumors in the temporomandibular joint region to facilitate accurate diagnoses. Materials and Methods: From October 2007 to June 2020, 6 patients (2 men and 4 women) at Yonsei University Dental Hospital had histopathologically proven giant cell tumors in the temporomandibular joint. Their computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings were reviewed retrospectively, and the cases were classified into 3 types based on the tumor center and growth pattern observed on the radiologic findings. Results: The age of the 6 patients ranged from 25 to 53 years. Trismus was found in 5 of the 6 cases. One case recurred. The mean size of the tumors, defined based on their greatest diameter, was 32 mm (range, 15-41 mm). The characteristic features of all cases were a heterogeneously-enhancing tumorous mass with a lobulated margin on computed tomographic images and internal multiplicity of signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. According to the site of origin, 3 tumors were bone-centered, 2 were soft tissue-centered, and 1 was peri-articular. Conclusion: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging yielded a tripartite classification of giant cell tumors of the temporomandibular joint according to their location on imaging. This study could help clinicians in the differential diagnosis of giant cell tumors and assist in proper treatment planning for tumorous diseases of the temporomandibular joint.

1. 연부 조직과 골 조직사이에서의 악성 섬유성 조직구종의 근본적인 조직학적 차이는 없었다. 2. 악성 섬유성 조직구종은 조직학적 소견이 다양하므로, 확진을 위해서는 다른 종양을 반드시 배제하여야한다. 3. 재발시 다른 형태의 조직 소견을 보여줄 수 있기 때문에 정확한 진단을 위해 환자의 과거력 및 과 거의 조직학적 검토가 필수적이라 사료된다.

Thallium-201 scintigraphy is used to discriminate the malignant bone tumor from the benign by qualitatively and quantitatively, and to predict the response of preoperative chemotherapy in osteosarcoma, by comparing the changes of thallium uptake ratio after chemotherapy to the tumor necrosis ratio. Thallium-201 scintigraphy scan should be done prior to surgical biopsy. PICKER Prism 2000 gamma camera with high resolution parallel hole collimator is usually used for scanning. The patient is injected with 2-3mCi of Tl-201 and the early phase is checked in 30 minutes and delayed phase in 3 hours. The scan images are visually evaluated by a blinded nuclear medicine physician. We could evaluate true positive, true negative, false positive and false negative by the comparison of results with those of biopsy, and calculate positive and negative predictive value(%), sensitivity(%), specificity(%) and diagnostic accuracy(%). For the quantitative analysis of thallium uptake, we drew the region of interest on the tumor side and contralateral normal side as mirror image, and calculated the uptake ratio with dividing the amount of gamma count in tumor side by normal side. We could calculate the percent changes of thallium uptake ratio in early and delayed phase, and compare them to the ratio of tumor necrosis. Thallium-201 scintigraphy proved as useful imaging study to discriminate malignant bone tumor from benign, but had exception in giant cell tumor and low grade malignant bone tumors. We can use T1-201 scan to differentiate the benign from the malignant tumor, and to evaluate the response of preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and to determine the residual tumor or local recurrence. For the better result, we need to have a more detail information about false positive cases and a more objective and quantitative reading technique.

Fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS) was initially described in 1936 by Geschickter and Copeland as a benign firmed soft tissue tumor that is rare and less common than another soft tissue tumors, especially giant cell tumors (GCT) of the tendon sheath. The common distinct feature is a slow-growing least painful rare entity arising from the tendon or tendon sheath. FTS is detected mostly in the fingers, hands and wrists but less commonly in the foot. Very few cases of FTS have been described arising from a flexor tendon of the foot. This article describes a 51-year-old patient with FTS that developed in the extensor tendon of the foot, which is the only known FTS to form in this area. Heterogeneous low signal intensity in both the T1- and T2-weighted images was observed in magnetic resonance imaging. The lesion was excised completely by open surgery. Histologically, it showed randomly arranged, fibroblast-like spindle cells in dense fibrous tissue and had insufficient hemosiderin-laden macrophages that are typical for GCT.

The incidence of chest wall tumor is rare than those of other portions of the body. The chest wall tumors need special attention about their diagnosis and management than other tumors. From March, 1985 to September, 1994, 33 patients with chest wall tumor underwent surgical treatment, and those were consisted of 28 benign tumors and 5 malignant tumors arising from soft tissue, rib and sternum.Benign tumors were included 11 lipoma, 4 cysticercosis, 2 chondroma and 1 each of fibroma, dermatofibroma, osteochondroma, fibrous dysplasia and hemangioma,and 6 other cases. Malignant chest wall tumors were included 2 metastatic carcinoma,1 each of giant cell tumor, chondrosarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma.Sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1, and the range of age was 16 to 72 years,and the mean age was about 40 years. Clinical manifestations of chest wall tumor were palpable mass[55% , pain[21% ,tender mass[9% , growing mass[9% and asymptomatic[9% .The all cases were treated surgically, the results were as follows:Local excision 16 cases, wide resection 12 cases, wide resection with chemotherapy 3 cases, each one case of wide resection with radiotherapy and wide resection with chest wall reconstruction.
