• Musc: Left knee exam:
• Fixed solid mass palpated over the posterior
knee. No warmth, erythema appreciated. No
joint line tenderness. Tender to palpation over
posterior aspect of the knee. Decreased ROM (090 degrees). Negative anterior/posterior drawer.

Histology
Giant Cell Tumor
• benign but aggressive tumor primarily found in the epiphysis
of long bones
• Epidemiology
•
•
•
•
Predominance in females
ages 30-50 years
50% occur around the knee (distal femur or proximal tibia)
10% in sacrum and vertebrae (sacrum is most common site in
axial skeleton)
• distal radius is third most common location
• Presentation: pain, decreased range of motion at the affected
joint
• Malignant Potential: Metastatic to the lung in 2-5%
• Hand lesions have greater chance of metastasis

Miller’s review of orthopaedics
Characteristic Features
• Xray
• eccentric lytic epiphyseal/metaphyseal lesion that often extends
into the distal epiphysis and borders subchondral bone
Characteristic Features
• MRI
• clear demarcation on T1 image between fatty marrow and tumor
Characteristic Features
• Bone scan is very “hot”
Characteristic Features
• Histology
• Characteristic cell is the mononucleur stromal cell
• hallmark giant cells are numerous
• nuclei of giant cell appears same as stromal cells
