Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign bone tumour characterised by osteoclastic-like multinucleated cells. This tumour predominantly occurs in adults during the third decade of life, commonly in the distal femur, proximal tibia, distal radius, and sacrum. Treatment options include wide local excision with possible adjuvant therapy depending on tumour size and site. We present a case of an 18-year-old lady with no prior medical history complaining of worsening insidious onset localised back pain and preceding numbness of the bilateral lower limbs, diagnosed with a giant cell tumour of the spine (T11).
骨巨细胞瘤(GCT)是一种以破骨细胞样多核细胞为特征的良性骨肿瘤。这种肿瘤主要发生在成年后的第三个十年,常见于股骨远端、胫骨近端、桡骨远端和骶骨。治疗选择包括根据肿瘤大小和部位进行广泛局部切除并可能辅以辅助治疗。我们报告一例18岁女性病例,该患者既往无病史,主诉隐匿性发作的局部背痛加重及双侧下肢先前出现麻木,诊断为脊柱骨巨细胞瘤(T11)。
