ANALYSIS OF GIANT CELL TUMOUR OF BONES: ITS PATTERN, VARIOUS TREATMENT MODALITIES AND THEIR RESULTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Biomedical Studies - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Giant cell tumour is a benign aggressive tumour of bone accounting for 5% of all primary bone tumours with feature of local recurrence, potential for metastasis and malignant transformation and usually seen at the end of long bones after skeletal maturity. The incidence of lung metastases from a histologically-proven GCT ranges from 1% to 9%. The recurrence rate after intralesional curettage without adjuvant therapy is reported to be up to 50%. Extended curettage with use of adjuvents is the treatment of choice for treating the most GCT of bones. Material and method: 25 patients presented with GCTBs included.In all patients standard plain anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the involved extremity were done.MRI of involved extremity was done in 19 cases. Diagnosis confirmed by biopsy and histopathological examination. The treatment of GCT is directed towards local control without scarifying joint function. This has been traditionally achieved by intralesional curettage with autograft reconstruction by packing the cavity of excised tumour with iliac cortico-cancellous bone. Results: We have treated 25 patients of GCTBs. Females (15) were more commonly affected than male (10). Most common site for GCT was around the knee joint mostly in proximal tibia (6 out of 25). Average range of motion of knee joint was 60 to 112 degree and in wrist joint it was 0 to 45 degree of palmar flexion and 0 to 30 degree of dorsi flexion. Conclusion: We believe that removal of most of tumour mass by extended curettage is very essential step in preventing recurrence and achieving good functional outcome in future. Key words: giant cell tumour of bones, autograft, extended curettage
