A case is described of leiomyosarcoma with osteoclast-like giant cells in soft tissues which metastasised to the lung. The secondary tumour also contained abundant osteoclast-like giant cells, which raises the question of whether they were locally induced or whether they metastasised with the tumour.
本文描述了一例发生于软组织的平滑肌肉瘤,伴有破骨细胞样巨细胞,该肿瘤转移至肺部。转移瘤中也含有大量破骨细胞样巨细胞,这就引发了一个问题,即这些巨细胞是在局部诱导产生的,还是随肿瘤一起转移的。
