Synchronous multicentric giant cell tumor

Abstract: Multicentric giant cell tumors represent less than 1% of all giant cell tumors of bones. We report a case of multicentric giant cell tumors around both the knee joints in a mentally and physically challenged adult male that resulted in rapidly progressive painful swelling, restricted mobility and, ultimately, fixed deformity. These tumors had typical radiological appearance and the diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology.

“…Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a benign primary neoplasm accounting for 4% to 5% of all primary bone tumors [1–4]. GCT of bone typically presents as a solitary lytic lesion of the metaphyseal-epiphyseal region of a long bone of adults [1] and in nearly 50% of the cases they occur adjacent to the knee joint [36]. …”

“…The bones of the hands and feet are uncommon locations (Fig 6), with a prevalence of less than 2% (15)(16)(17). Multicentric GCT has been reported in less than 1% of cases, with lesions often located in the distal extremities, particularly the hands and feet (18)(19)(20)(21).…”

“…Multicentric GCTB does not differ from the solitary tumor regarding its radiological, histological, and therapeutic aspects. Radiological and histological characteristics, as well as in the treatment of multicentric GCTB, are not different from that of the solitary lesions [2,66]. TREATMENT GCTB is one of the most discussed bone tumors today.…”
