Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Giant Cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon neoplasm. The tumor typically affects the ends of long bones and involvement of flat bones of pelvis and greater trochanter is extremely rare.
Case Series: In this case series, three cases suspected of having GCT on the basis of their characteristic radiological findings have been reported. However, they presented at unusual locations, i.e., ilium and greater trochanter of femur. Two of the cases were males and one was female. These patients presented with pain localized to the affected region, were examined clinically and relevant investigations were done. Clinical history, clinical examination, laboratory investigations and imaging findings have been discussed in detail. The patients were on follow-up and radiological diagnosis of GCT was confirmed by histopathology. Conclusion: The aim of this case series is that GCT at not so common locations can be diagnosed on the basis of their characteristic radiological findings and computed tomography scan is the choice of investigation to see the expansile nature of the lesion. | |
