We present the case of a patient with a giant cell tumor of the thoracic wall that invaded the thoracic spine.
A giant cell tumor that affects the spine and the thoracic wall is very rare but can grow to a large size. We report a case of giant cell tumor of the left chest wall extending to the thoracic spine in a 28-year-old man. Positron emission tomography (PET) showed a tumor of 11 × 4 × 13 cm in size and the histopathology specimen of the first surgical procedure diagnosed a giant cell tumor. The tumor was treated by oblique osteotomy guided with pedicle wires.
A giant cell tumor was histologically confirmed following radical surgery. After 1 year of follow-up the patient was asymptomatic. There has been no recurrence of the tumor.
The use of transpedicular Kirschner wires could be a good technical support for transpedicular oblique sagittal osteotomy.
我们报告一例胸壁巨细胞瘤侵犯胸椎的病例。
脊柱和胸壁受累的巨细胞瘤非常罕见,但可生长至很大体积。我们报告一名28岁男性,其左胸壁巨细胞瘤累及胸椎。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)显示肿瘤大小为11×4×13 cm,首次手术的组织病理学标本诊断为巨细胞瘤。采用椎弓根钢丝引导下斜行截骨术治疗该肿瘤。
根治性手术后经组织学证实为巨细胞瘤。随访1年后,患者无症状,肿瘤无复发。
使用椎弓根克氏针可为椎弓根斜行矢状截骨术提供良好的技术支持。
