Apoptosis in giant cell tumors of bone.
Although giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is characterized by the extensive multinucleated giant cells among mononuclear stromal cells, proliferation of these cells and multinucleation are not without limit in certain cases. Few studies on oncogenesis of GCT have focused on the negative growth control, including growth arrest and apoptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechani...

متن کاملGiant Cell Tumor of Bone - an Overview
Giant Cell tumors (GCT) are benign tumors with potential for aggressive behavior and capacity to metastasize. Although rarely lethal, benign bone tumors may be associated with a substantial disturbance of the local bony architecture that can be particularly troublesome in peri-articular locations. Its histogenesis remains unclear. It is characterized by a proliferation of mononuclear stromal ...
متن کاملTreatment of benign giant cell tumours of bone in Singapore.
INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a distinct neoplasm of undifferentiated cells. The exact cell of origin is unknown. The multinucleated giant cells present are formed from the fusion of mononuclear cells. Giant cell tumour is more common in Southeast Asia than in the West. The incidence is about 20% compared to 4% to 5% in the West. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with giant cel...
متن کاملGiant Cell Tumors of the Bone With Pulmonary Metastasis.
Giant cell tumors of the bone are benign but locally aggressive, and they rarely metastasize to the lungs. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review the clinical presentation, long-term outcomes, and treatment of pulmonary metastasis of these tumors. Between 1991 and 2004, a total of 168 patients with giant cell tumors of the bone were treated at the authors' institution, 7 of who...
