Giant cell tumor arising from anterior arc of rib
Journal Title: Pathology Update: Tropical Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone also known as Osteoclastoma has only recently been included in the diagnostic purview of the cytopathologist. It is a benign but locally aggressive neoplasm most commonly found in the epiphysis or metaphyseal-epiphyseal region of long bones. Rarely, it can occur on the ribs, usually on the posterior aspect i.e. head and tubercle of the ribs. We, therefore report a case of giant cell tumor arising from the anterior arc of the rib, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology.
