1/74. Destruction of the glenoid joint fossa by a tenosynovial giant-cell tumour of the skull base: a case report.A 63-year-old man is presented in whom a tenosynovial giant-cell tumour had destroyed the temporomandibular joint fossa and expanded intracranially. The lesion was not diagnosed for a period of at least two years. Treatment included wide resection including the surrounding bone, dura and condyle.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/74. Haemangioma of bone with radiographic appearances simulating a giant cell tumour.A case is described of haemangioma of the proximal end of the humerus which simulated a giant cell tumour on radiography. An attempt at biopsy, carried out elsewhere, had failed because of severe haemorrhage from the tumour during operation. It was treated by en bloc resection and endoprosthesis with a good result after one year.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/74. Giant cell tumour of hyoid bone: case report.Giant cell tumours of bones are uncommon and are usually found in the epiphyses of long bones. They are rare in flat bones (<10%). The tumour has to our knowledge never been described in the hyoid bone, although 18 cases have been reported in the cartilagenous laryngeal skeleton. We report a giant cell tumour of the hyoid bone in a 45-year-old man, which we excised along with the left half of the hyoid bone. It recurred locally one year later and was cured by excision and split course radiotherapy. The patient is disease-free after 30 months of follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/74. Giant cell tumour of the hamate. Case report.We report the case of a 31-year-old woman who had had the distal end of the ulna resected for a giant cell tumour five years before presenting with a further one in the hamate. The medullary cavity of the hamate was curetted and cancellous bone grafted from the distal radius. Her symptoms resolved, and 26 months postoperatively the cortex of the hamate was fully restored.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/74. tuberculosis of the distal end of the radius mimicking a giant-cell tumour.We report a case of a lady presenting with a lesion in the distal radius with classical radiological features of a giant-cell tumour. These tumours are often resected without preliminary histological confirmation. A biopsy done in this patient showed it to be tuberculosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/74. Neurological recovery in a patient with recurrent aggressive giant cell tumour of the axis--a case report.A rare case of an aggressive recurrent giant cell tumour of axis is presented. The problems encountered in diagnosis and management are discussed. High dose dexamethasone was found to be useful managing this inoperable aggressive tumour which was compressing the cord. early diagnosis would facilitate wide excision of the tumour with good prognosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/74. Giant cell tumour of soft tissue--a case report.Giant cell tumor is seen in late adolescence or in the third or fourth decade of life. It arises from epiphysis of long bones, the commonest site being the distal end of the demur and the proximal end of tibia. This paper presents a case report of giant cell tumor of soft tissue.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/74. Giant cell tumour of soft tissue--a case report.Giant cell tumor is seen in late adolescence or in the third or fourth decade of life. It arises from epiphysis of long bones, the commonest site being the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of tibia.

9/74. Radiosensitive giant cell tumour of the sphenoid bone.Giant cell tumours rarely occur in the cranial region. We encountered a radiosensitive giant cell tumour of the sphenoid in a 12-year-old girl. After a two-stage operation, the residual tumour regrew rapidly. The adjuvant radiotherapy subsequent to additional surgery has suppressed the growth of the residual tumour for 5 years.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/74. Laryngeal giant cell tumour.The surgical treatment of an exceedingly rare neoplasm, the laryngeal giant cell tumor, is reported. After removal of the grossly visible part of the growth and reconstruction of the larynx, the lumen of the latter could be preserved by insertion of metal and/or plastic dilator cannulas. Post-operative X-ray treatment has prevented recurrence of the growth throughout the two-year period which has elapsed since the operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = cell tumour (Clic here for more details about this article) |
