Giant cell tumors of bone are known for their unpredictable behavior characterized occasionally even by metastases. Most metastases lodge in the lungs but other rare sites are regional lymph nodes, mediastinum, skin, scalp and the pelvis. In this case report we document a case of giant cell tumor of the patella in which, associated with local recurrence, there were simultaneous metastases to lymph nodes and lungs.
骨巨细胞瘤以其不可预测的行为而闻名,偶尔甚至会出现转移。大多数转移灶位于肺部,但其他罕见部位包括区域淋巴结、纵隔、皮肤、头皮和骨盆。在本病例报告中,我们记录了一例髌骨巨细胞瘤,该病例伴有局部复发,同时出现了淋巴结和肺部转移。
