Giant cell tumor of bone

Giant cell tumor of bone is a rare, benign primary osteolytic neoplasm characterized by local aggressiveness and marked bone destruction Pathophysiologically, the tumor arises in the epiphyseal-metaphyseal regions of long bones—most frequently around the knee in the distal femur and proximal tibia—and is histopathologically defined by proliferating neoplastic mononuclear stromal cells that recruit numerous reactive, osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells

It predominantly affects young and middle-aged skeletally mature adults, most commonly presenting in the third and fourth decades of life with a slight female predominance Pathophysiologically, the tumor arises in the epiphyseal-metaphyseal regions of long bones—most frequently around the knee in the distal femur and proximal tibia—and is histopathologically defined by proliferating neoplastic mononuclear stromal cells that recruit numerous reactive, osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells

Although histologically nonmalignant, it frequently causes localized cortical thinning, pathological fractures, and joint pain, exhibiting a high potential for local recurrence and rare pulmonary metastasis
