Several cases of long bone giant cell tumor have been reported in the literature. We report the case of a patient with a giant cell tumor in the distal ulna. This is very unusual, with a reported incidence of 0.45 to 6%.
A 17-year-old Colombian man presented with a painful swelling of the left wrist. After performing an instrumental examination, a diagnosis of distal ulna giant cell tumor was made. The tumor was treated with an intralesional curettage, phenol application and bone grafting.
This tumor may have a good prognosis if it is diagnosed early and radically treated. It is important to be aware of atypical cancer localizations in order to perform a proper diagnosis.
文献中已报道了数例长骨巨细胞瘤病例。我们报告一例尺骨远端巨细胞瘤患者的病例。这非常罕见,报道的发病率为0.45%至6%。
一名17岁的哥伦比亚男性因左手腕疼痛肿胀就诊。经过器械检查后,诊断为尺骨远端巨细胞瘤。该肿瘤采用病灶内刮除、苯酚涂抹和骨移植治疗。
如果早期诊断并进行根治性治疗,这种肿瘤可能预后良好。了解非典型癌症定位对于进行正确诊断很重要。
