Three patients with spinal primary diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor (DTGCT) received surgical treatment in our department between 2002 and 2012. All 3 patients were female and aged 23, 33, and 44 years. The mean time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 17 months (range, 5-24 months). One case involved the C1 right lateral mass and C2 vertebral body, the second involved the C1-2 left lateral masses and C2 vertebral body, and the third involved the C5-7 left lateral mass and C6 vertebral body. All patients underwent computed tomographyguided biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of tenosynovial giant cell tumor. Gross total resection was achieved in all patients, including 2 piecemeal resections and 1 en-bloc resection. The mean follow-up time was 6 years (range, 1-11 years), and there was no sign of recurrence in the patients. Seventy cases have been identified so far in the English literature. The male to female ratio is 1:1.38. The mean patient age is 38.5 ± 17.9 years. The tumor distribution includes 32 cases in the cervical spine, 14 in the thoracic spine, 22 in the lumbar spine, and 1 in the sacrococcygeal region. The recurrence rate for patients who underwent gross total resection was 7.7%, and tumor progression was observed in 66.7% of patients who underwent subtotal resection. Above all, DTGCT is a rare primary spinal neoplasm. Preoperative image-guided biopsies play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment strategy. Gross total resection is the best treatment strategy and can reduce the recurrence rate. (aralık, 5-24 ay). Bir olguda C1 sağ lateral kitle ve C2 vertebral cisim tutulması vardı. İkinci olguda C1-2 sol lateral kitleleri ve C2 vertebra cismi tutulmuştu. Üçüncü olguda C5-7 sol lateral kitleleri ve C6 vertebra cismi tutulmuştu. Tüm hastalarda tenosinov yal dev hücreli tümör tanısını doğrulamak için bilgisayarlı tomografi kılavuzluğunda biyopsi yapıldı. Tüm hastalarda gros total rezeksiyon yapıldı. Hastaların ikisinde parça parça ve 1'inde ise en blok halinde rezeksiyon ile gerçekleştirildi. Ortalama takip süresi 6 yıldı (aralık, 1-11 yıl) ve hastalarda bir nüks bulgusu yoktu. İngilizce literatür-de şimdiye kadar 70 olgu tanımlanmıştır. Erkek/kadın oranı 1:1,38'dir. Ortalama hasta yaşı 38,5 ± 17,9 yıldır. Tümör dağılımı servikal omurgada 32 olgu, torasik omurgada 14 olgu, lomber omurgada 22 olgu ve sakrokoksigiyal bölgede 1 olgu şeklindedir. Gros total rezeksiyon yapılan hastalarda nüks oranı %7,7 bulunmuş ve subtotal rezeksiyon yapılan hastaların %66,7'sinde tümör ilerlemesi gözlenmiştir. Genel olarak DTGCT nadir bir primer spinal neoplazmdır. Preoperatif tomografi kılavuzluğunda biyopsiler, tanı ve tedavi stratejisinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. En iyi tedavi gros total rezeksiyondur.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor of the posterior arch of C1

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor, also called pigmented villonodular synovitis, is a disease typically of the joints and which uncommonly involves the spine. We present a case of a mass of the posterior C1 arch which eroded bone and did not arise from the facet joint. The imaging findings of spinal tenosynovial giant cell tumor will be reviewed as well as the imaging findings in this case, where tenosynovial giant cell tumor arose presumably within a small bursa. One's understanding of the imaging characteristics can lead to the correct diagnosis and avoid an unnecessary work-up.
