Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone was first described almost 200 years ago, but the optimal treatment continues to evolve. We present a patient with a pelvic GCT who was treated with embolization, 20 months of denosumab therapy, and resection. Histologically, the tumor consisted of degenerated GCT, bone, and fibrous tissue. After 7 months, the patient was found to have osteosarcoma at the site of the initial lesion as well as pulmonary metastases.
The apparent malignant transformation of a GCT of bone treated initially with denosumab indicates that close follow-up is warranted.
骨巨细胞瘤(GCT)在近200年前首次被描述,但最佳治疗方法仍在不断发展。我们报告一名骨盆骨巨细胞瘤患者,接受了栓塞治疗、20个月的地诺单抗治疗以及手术切除。组织学检查显示,肿瘤由退变的骨巨细胞瘤、骨和纤维组织组成。7个月后,患者在初始病变部位被发现患有骨肉瘤以及肺转移。
最初用地诺单抗治疗的骨巨细胞瘤出现明显的恶性转化,这表明有必要进行密切随访。
