The Giant Cell Tumor, Appeared in the Sacrum Seven Years After the Amptuation of the Right Humerus

A Case Report

Abstract

The occurrence of bone metastasis of the giant cell tumor is rarely reported. On the other hand, the concept of multicentric leison should be considered, although it is difficult to distinguish a multicentric giant cell tumor from a secondary giant cell tumor of metastatic spread, each at a different time.
This paper reports an unusual case of 29 year old woman who had been well for seven years after the amputation of primary lesion, the right humerus, until December 1977, when examination and roentogenogram revealed destructively expansile lesion of the body of the sacrum.
