Fluorosis-induced hyperparathyroidism mimicking a giant-cell tumour of the femur.

چکیده
We report the case of a young woman who, over a period of five years was diagnosed and treated for a giant-cell tumour of bone, osteomalacia and fluorosis. A review of the literature revealed a correlation between these three diagnoses, the primary pathology being fluorosis and the remaining symptoms being secondary manifestations. It is important to be aware of this association, especially in regions with endemic skeletal fluorosis.

Jaffe (1958) observed a case ofgiant-cell tumour involving the lower end of an u...

Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign, locally aggressive tumour of the bone that accounts for 5% of primary bone tumours and 21% of benign bone tumours. This tumour more commonly presents as a single (solitary) lesion; however, it may appear with multiple (multicentric) lesions in less than 1% of the cases. According to the literature, 1-9% of solitary GCTs metastasizes to the lung, more commonl...
