Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is an extremely rare phenomenon in the breast. Herein, a case involving a 75-year-old female with a painless lump and bloody discharge from the nipple of her left breast is reported. A diagnosis of malignant tumor was arrived at by observing the location of the tumor, interior echo, margins, vascular distribution, hardness, and microvascular density on preoperative multimodal ultrasonography.

Introduction: Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is a benign but locally aggressive bone tumour with a higher predilection for females of reproductive age. GCTB management poses a unique set of challenges during pregnancy due to risks associated with imaging and treatment options. Pregnancy has been implicated in GCTB progression and tumour recurrence, however an exact mechanism has not been established.

Simultaneous visualization of membrane fluidity and morphology defines adhesion signatures of cancer cells.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

December 2024

Department of Applied Physics, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, Suita 565-0871, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • - We created a new optical microscope that can simultaneously image both the fluidity and structure of cell membranes to understand cell adhesion better.
  • - In tests, we observed how a giant unilamellar vesicle interacts with a glass surface, revealing areas of membrane fluidity and corresponding adhesion sites in both cancerous and non-cancerous cells.
  • - By manipulating cholesterol and unsaturated lipids, we identified distinct adhesion signatures in cancer cells, suggesting that our microscope could help study membrane properties in various cell types beyond just cancer.

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare bone tumor often necessitating surgical intervention, radiation therapy, or treatment with bisphosphonates or denosumab. Tc-MDP bone scintigraphy for GCTB has limited specificity, and the relatively high uptake of F-FDG in GCTB makes it challenging to differentiate it from other benign bone tumors. More specific detection and treatment modalities for GCTB are needed to enhance patient monitoring and outcomes.

Deep juvenile xanthogranuloma invading the left tensor fasciae latae muscle: a case report and a literature review.

J Clin Exp Hematop

November 2024

Division of Pediatrics and Perinatology, Department of Multidisciplinary Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Tottori University Faculty of Medicine, Yonago, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare benign condition primarily affecting neonates and young children, often presenting as skin lesions, but intramuscular JXG is much less common, accounting for only 0.6% of cases.
  • A case involving a 5-month-old girl showed a slow-growing lump in her left thigh, which was diagnosed as deep JXG after imaging, biopsy, and surgical resection.
  • Histological findings revealed characteristics typical of JXG, and despite initial concerns about tumor margins, the patient has shown no signs of recurrence over 48 months post-surgery, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and monitoring.

Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is characterized by p53 germline mutations and a high predisposition to cancers including glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite current therapies, the 5-year survival rate is 5%-10%. The authors report a case with a durable long-term response to immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibition in a patient with LFS-associated GBM.

This report documents the first case of a conventional (bone-type) giant cell tumor of the larynx, in which the diagnosis was confirmed by molecular genetic analysis. A 50-year-old non-smoking man experienced progressive hoarseness lasting for 3 months. Imaging showed a 40-mm tumor arising from the right thyroid cartilage.

Giant cell tumour of the tibia with pulmonary metastasis is very rare and the malignancy usually appears several years after the initial lesion. Imaging at the earliest instance is highly beneficial since surgical resection to remove the metastases raises survival rates; therefore, relentless follow-up in GCT is vital.

Introduction: This study investigated wrist joint degeneration after curettage and PMMA treatment for giant cell bone tumours (GCBT) at the distal radius.

Methods: We performed a retrospective single-centre study, which included 23 patients with GCBT at distal radius treated with curettage and PMMA between 2001 and 2021. The progression of wrist joint degeneration was assessed through radiographic evidence, comparing the postoperative grade with both the preoperative grade and the grade of the contralateral wrist at the latest follow-up.

To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in children. A total of 35 cases of GCTB diagnosed at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School from 2016 to 2023 were collected, and a retrospective analysis of clinicopathological features and imaging findings was conducted. Pediatric GCTB accounted for approximately 4.

Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rare benign neurogenic tumor that originates from the sympathetic nerves. It is extremely uncommon to find a lesion originating from the mediastinum that occupies the entire left hemithorax. In this report, we present the case of a 48-year-old female patient with a large mediastinal GN who presented with cough, sputum, and wheezing.

Article Synopsis
  • Giant cell tumors (GCT) of bone are rare, slow-growing tumors that mostly affect young adults and are usually found in long bones, while their occurrence in the clivus is even rarer, especially in children.
  • A 13-year-old patient with a large GCT in the clivus had initial clinical and radiographic findings that raised suspicion for this tumor, though other common types were also considered.
  • Key imaging features, such as low T2 signal on MRI and a T2 hypointense rim on CT, helped confirm the diagnosis via an endoscopic biopsy, emphasizing the importance of imaging in identifying and treating such rare tumors effectively.

Barmherzige Brüder Klinikum St. Elisabeth Straubing, Klinik für Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Heilkunde mit Kopf-Hals- und plastischer Gesichtschirurgie, Straubing, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • * The tumor, identified as a "calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm" (CCMN) through molecular analysis, was surgically removed, showing extensive changes indicative of its aggressive nature.
  • * Follow-up imaging for over two years showed no residual tumor, but ongoing monitoring is crucial due to potential local recurrences; targeted therapies may be considered for any future recurrences involving the FGFR2 fusion.

  • Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a rare, benign bone lesion primarily found in the jawbones, but this case highlights its occurrence in the temporal bone of a 31-year-old female.
  • The patient underwent advanced imaging which revealed a mass with significant involvement of nearby structures, leading to preoperative embolization to minimize blood supply before surgical intervention.
  • Post-surgery, a histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of CGCG, and the patient had an uncomplicated recovery, highlighting a successful management approach that preserved critical ear structures.

Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms, primarily found in long bones, typically affecting the epiphysis of the distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius. However, their occurrence in the cervical spine is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case report of a 21-year-old female patient who presented with progressive neck pain, radiating numbness, and right hemiparesis.

  • Primary leiomyosarcoma of the bone (LMSB) is a rare and aggressive cancer with limited treatment options, often leading to diagnostic challenges due to its similar features to more common tumors.
  • A 20-year-old female was diagnosed with LMSB after an initial biopsy mistakenly identified it as a giant cell tumor with aneurysmal bone cyst-like changes. Further examination confirmed the correct diagnosis.
  • The patient underwent wide excision of the tumor and received chemoradiation therapy, resulting in complete removal of the mass and improvement of symptoms without any relapses, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis.
