[PMID: 39251419 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04784-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Five cases of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in the head and neck region were reported, with a main focus on the radiological findings to identify common characteristics for the diagnosis of GCTB in these sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five consecutive patients diagnosed with GCTB were retrospectively selected. Radiological features on conventional and advanced MR sequences and CT were analyzed. HE staining and immunohistochemical examination were performed using antibodies against p63 and CD68. RESULTS The common clinical features were local mass (3/5), tinnitus (3/5) and headache (2/5). Radiologically, all the cases were well-circumscribed osteolytic lesion, majority of cases demonstrated an expansile growth pattern and "soap bubble" appearance on CT (4/5). On MRI, the tumors showed predominantly hypointensity both on T1WI and T2WI, and no evidence of restricted diffusion on DWI. Intratumoral hemorrhage (2/5), cystic alternation (2/5) and very low signal on T2WI in the periphery region of the tumor (4/5) was found. Fluid-fluid level was noted in one case, which was eventually verified to be GCTB with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). With contrast agent, all the cases showed striking (3/5) or mild to intermediate (2/5) enhancement. CONCLUSIONS Although the above described radiological findings are not specific for GCTB in head and neck region, a well-defined osteolytic lesion in the bones of head and neck region with "soap bubble" appearance on CT and hypointensity on T2WI with very low signal in the peripheral region of the tumor on MRI highly suggest GCTB for patient ages 20 to 40.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a rare, benign, osteolytic neoplasm that most commonly occurs in early adulthood and often involves the long bones of the body. Although GCT largely affects the epiphyses of long bones, several reports of GCT involvement of the cranial and facial bones exist in the literature. In addition to reviewing other reported cases of GCT of the lateral skull base in the literature, the authors report here on the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and management of a patient found to have a GCT of the squamous part of temporal bone invading the middle ear and infratemporal fossae, which was treated by en bloc resection of the lateral skull base.

Abstract
Giant Cell Tumors of the skull are rare and mostly occur in the middle cranial fossa. Radiological investigations serve as adjunct modalities; however, histopathological confirmation is mandatory. Ten to forty% of GCTs may be recurrent. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice, however, partial resection with adjuvant radiotherapy can serve as a secondary alternative. Recurrent cases require post-op radiotherapy. Here, we describe a case of recurrent giant cell tumor of sphenoid bone in a young male, who underwent surgical resection twice, after which he was advised adjuvant radiotherapy and denosumab. The patient did not take radiotherapy.

Abstract
Giant cell tumors (GCTs), typically benign, predominantly manifest in individuals aged 20-40, with the most common locations being the metaphysis or epiphysis of the femur or tibia. Infrequently, they may occur in the skull. Despite their benign nature, these tumors can exhibit aggressive behavior and have the potential to metastasize. In the case at hand, a 20-year-old female presented to the hospital with a progressively enlarging right frontal swelling over the preceding months. The patient reported intermittent headaches, alleviated by analgesics, and exhibited a normal neurological examination along with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 15 out of 15. Imaging revealed an expansive soft tissue mass in the right frontal bone involving both inner and outer tables. Surgical intervention was pursued through a right frontal incision followed by tumor excision. Histopathological examination of the specimen confirmed the presence of a GCT. The limited existing literature on this topic highlights the need for further research and insights into effective strategies. This case contributes to addressing this gap in knowledge, offering valuable information to enhance our understanding of the challenges associated with similar rare cases and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a benign tumor that originates from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells of the bone marrow. The craniums as well as temporal bone are extremely rare locations for GCTs. Clinical, radiological, and anatomical diagnosis of this locally aggressive disease poses a major challenge in clinical practice. In this article, we present a clinical study for a 35-year-old female who was found to have left-sided temporal bone GCT with extension to middle cranial fossa and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with its clinical features and management.

Abstract
Objectives: Temporal tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are often large and have invaded the middle skull base. It is difficult to protect the important neurovascular structures around the tumor and perform functional reconstruction on the basis of complete tumor resection. This study aimed at analyzing the surgical techniques and functional reconstruction during the operation of complex TGCT of temporal bone and middle skull base. Methods: Five patients with pathologically confirmed TGCT of different complex types in the temporal bone and middle skull base were treated in our hospital from December 2020 to February 2023. We collected and retrospectively analyzed their medical records, including medical imaging, surgical procedures, and follow-up data. Results: The tumors invaded beyond the temporal bone and destroyed the middle skull base in all cases, involving the intracranial space and other important neurovascular structures. The internal carotid artery, infratemporal fossa, pterygopalatine fossa, and parapharyngeal space were also involved in 1 case. All the patients' tumors were completely removed, and the operations were performed mainly via modified infratemporal fossa approach, or combined with expanded middle cranial fossa approach. All cases with temporal and skull base destruction were repaired using the temporalis muscle flap with no occurrence of intracranial complications. The dura mater, condyle of temporomandibular joint, facial nerve, and internal carotid artery were fully preserved. Normal maxillofacial morphology was also preserved. The air conductive hearing of 2 patients was preserved. Conclusions: We found and summarized some surgical techniques that can help safeguard the important structures around massive TGCTs of temporal bone and middle skull base, and reconstruct the defects after tumor resection. The techniques are effective and feasible.

Abstract
Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTBs) are benign osteolytic neoplasms that can be treated with either gross-total resection or subtotal resection with adjuvant radiotherapy. For the rare GCTB of the temporal bone, close proximity to critical structures can produce functional deficits and make gross-total resection difficult to achieve without significant morbidity. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with progressive facial paresis, otalgia, neck pain, imbalance, and subjective hearing loss. She was found to have a facial nerve mass centered at the geniculate ganglion extending into the labyrinthine segment and vestibule. We achieved gross-total resection with preserved facial nerve function as the tumor did not originate from the facial nerve and could be dissected free from the nerve. Final pathology was consistent with GCTB.

Abstract
Background:
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) rarely originates in the skull, particularly in the occipital bone. Although benign, it can severely destroy the surrounding tissue and undergo an unpredictable clinical course. We report the successful resection of a GCTB invading the occipital bone in a Hispanic adult woman and present a comprehensive review of the literature on this rare pathology by focusing on the occipital area.
Case Description:
A 40-year-old Hispanic woman presented with a 3-month history of neck pain and a bulging lesion on the retromastoid area. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an extradural, expansive, and contrast-enhancing lesion in the right occipital bone with multiple thin septa and evidence of bleeding. The patient underwent an uneventful gross total resection (GTR) of the lesion. The histopathological examination findings included numerous scattered osteoclast-type giant multinucleated cells. At a 10-month follow-up, the patient has not developed any neurological deficits, impairment of life functioning, or signs of recurrence in MRI.
Conclusion:
GCTB rarely originates in the skull, being the occipital bone the most infrequent site of presentation. When feasible, total surgical resection effectively reduces the risk of recurrence. Nonetheless, radiation and adjuvant therapies have been employed when GTR could not be achieved. A close follow-up with a brain MRI is advised to control recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumors (GCTs) and giant cell granulomas (GCGs) are giant cell-rich lesions that occur extremely rarely in the temporal bone and have similar clinical presentations. OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the clinical features and introduce our staging system and surgical treatment. METHODS Forty-six patients pathologically diagnosed with a giant cell lesion involving the temporal bone between October 2001 and October 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics, surgical approaches, and risk factors for recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS GCTs and GCGs presented as masses centered on the temporomandibular joint with similar imaging features, including a thin, calcified shell and central scattered calcifications on a computed tomography scan. Differences were detected on magnetic resonance imaging in 29.6% (4/14) of GCG and 50% (16/32) of GCT cases; the remaining cases were not distinguishable. Based on our staging system and surgical strategy, 31.8% (7/22) of GCT and 10% (1/10) of GCG cases experienced recurrence, which compares to recurrence rates of 60% in GCT cases and 20% in GCG cases in previous studies. CONCLUSIONS Specific clinical and preoperative imaging features help to make a diagnosis of temporal giant cell-rich lesions. Our staging system and surgical strategy could help surgeons tailor the surgical strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present pathologic, clinical, and treatment findings for giant cell tumors (GCTs) of sphenoid bone and clivus. METHODS We describe the optimal treatment algorithm in patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of bone GCT by presenting the effects of denosumab treatment in both pediatric and adult patients with GCT undergoing endoscopic transnasal surgery. Clinicopathologic correlation is crucial for the differential diagnosis of GCT and the choice of treatment modality. CONCLUSION GCT of bone is a local aggressive tumor that accounts for about 3%-7% of all bone tumors. GCTs located in the cranium are extremely uncommon neoplasms. There are no defined guidelines for the treatment of GCTs in skull base. Following surgical resection of the tumor, the addition of denosumab treatments to radiotherapy has a significant role in preventing the recurrence of GCT and in promoting regression of residual tumor size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody that has been used successfully in the treatment of giant cell tumors of bone. These tumors are rare and, in principle, benign, but they are highly aggressive, locally advanced, osteolytic bone tumors that can metastasize to the lungs. Denosumab is an effective treatment when these tumors cannot be surgically removed or when surgical resection is likely to lead to severe morbidity (eg, loss of limbs or joints). The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate patients with giant cell tumors of bone who experienced tumor progression during treatment with denosumab and to compare them with patients who experienced reduction of their giant cell tumors of bone during treatment with denosumab. METHODS Embase, Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE/PubMed databases were searched for trials submitted by January 7, 2020, that reported the efficacy and safety of denosumab in patients with giant cell tumors of bone. RESULTS Sixty studies were reviewed, involving a total of 1074 patients who had giant cell tumors of bone and were treated with denosumab. Of the 60 studies, 58% of the patients were from case series studies, 39% from open-label phase II studies, and 3% from case reports. The response rate for denosumab as a treatment for giant cell tumors of bone was 97.5%, with statistical significance (P < .0001). Pain in the limbs was statistically the most common adverse event for denosumab treatment in case series studies (P < .0001). No treatment-related deaths occurred in the reviewed studies. CONCLUSION Cumulative evidence supports the addition of surgery to optimal medical therapy with denosumab to reduce tumor size, clinical symptoms, and mortality among patients with giant cell tumors of bone.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone is a benign but locally aggressive osteolytic neoplasm that represents 3% to 5% of all primary bone tumors, primarily found at the epiphyses of long bones. Less than 1% are of calvarial origin. Herein, we report a rare case of a nine-year-old girl with a hemorrhagic giant cell tumor of the left occipital skull base.

Abstract
Background Malignant giant cell tumor of bone (MGCTB) is a rare histological type of malignant tumor that has a high tendency for local relapse and distant metastasis and ultimately leads to a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiological features, identify the prognostic factors, and construct nomograms for patients with MGCTB. Material/Methods Patients with MGCTB that was histologically diagnosed between 1973 and 2014 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database as a training set. Survival analysis, Lasso regression, and random forests were used to identify the prognostic variables and establish the nomograms for patients with MGCTB, while an external cohort of 37 patients from our own institution and an external cohort of 163 patients from the SEER database in 2016 were used to validate the generalization performance of the nomograms. Results In total, univariate and multivariable analysis indicated that age, International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, historical stage, primary site, surgery information, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic variables for overall survival or cause-specific survival. Nomograms based on the multivariable models were built to predict survival, and we achieved a higher C-index in subsequent multidimensional validation. Conclusions Age, historical stage, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic variables for overall survival and cause-specific survival of MGCTB patients, and radiotherapy and primary site were independent prognostic variables for overall survival. Nomograms based on significant clinicopathological features and clinical experience can be effective in predicting the probability of survival for MGCTB patients.

Abstract
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a benign soft-tissue neoplasm that rarely occurs in the craniofacial region. We report a case of a 27-year-old male who presented to our unit in September 2017 with severe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and progressive limitation opening his mouth. Based on clinical and imaging examinations, a well-defined soft tissue lesion was identified within the right infratemporal fossa, causing pressure on the TMJ and the surrounding structures. The lesion was surgically excised through trans-mandibular and endoscopic approaches. Histopathology diagnosis revealed a rare chondroid subset of TGCT. At 18 months follow-up, the patient showed resolution of the jaw pain, good functional and esthetic outcomes, and no evidence of recurrence.

Abstract
Giant cell tumors (GCT) are generally benign, commonly affecting young adults, with a slight preponderance in females. They are locally aggressive with a high rate of local recurrence. Most of them are found in the epiphysis of long bones, making the base of the skull a rare site. We report the case of a 35-year-old female, who presented with neurological symptoms of headache and diplopia. On magnetic resonance imaging, a space-occupying lesion was discovered in the clivus. Histopathology was diagnostic of a GCT. GCT arising from the clivus is extremely uncommon, with about 15 cases published in the literature. The present case highlights the rarity of this tumor and contributes to the existing literature with analysis and evaluation of the management strategies and prognosis.

Abstract
The anatomical and histological complexity of the parasellar region as well as the presence of embryonic remnants determine the huge diversity of parasellar neoplasms. Some of them are only located in the parasellar region, whereas others can occur elsewhere, within or outside the central nervous system. Their spectrum ranges from histologically benign and low-grade malignant to high-grade malignant tumours. Although rare, metastases can pose differential diagnostic dilemmas. The severity of the clinical picture, the challenges of surgery and the risk of adverse sequelae related to surgery or radiotherapy make parasellar tumours interesting entities for the clinicians irrespective of their histological malignancy grade. Due to the different cell origins of parasellar tumours, the World Health Organization classification system does not categorise them as a distinct group. Detailed criteria for classification and malignancy grading are presented in the classification systems covering central nervous system tumours, haematological malignancies and tumours of the soft tissue and bone. In the last few years, molecular genetic features have been integrated into the diagnosis of several types of the parasellar tumours enhancing diagnostic accuracy and providing information of the value for targeting therapies. In this review, we will present histopathological and molecular genetic features, updated classification criteria and recent advances in the diagnostics and rationale for novel pharmacological therapies of selected types of parasellar neoplasms.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a benign tumor that originates from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells of the bone marrow. The cranium as well as temporal bone is a rare location for GCTs. Despite its benign nature, GCT may be locally aggressive and has the potential to recur locally. Furthermore, GCT may give rise to pulmonary metastases (~1%) in addition to causing local bone destruction. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for patients with GCT. We describe the case of a 56-year-old female who presented with headache and hearing loss with extensive GCT, which originated in the squamous part of the temporal bone and extended into the left mandibular fossa and middle ear. She was treated by total resection of the tumor using left temporal craniotomy approach. In this article, we present a case of temporal bone GCT with its clinical features as well as a review of the related literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intracranial giant cell tumors (GCTs) are extremely rare neoplasms with dismal survival and recurrence rates. The authors aimed to confirm independent adverse factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and to propose an optimal treatment algorithm. METHODS The authors reviewed the clinical data of 43 cases of intracranial GCTs in their series. They also reviewed 90 cases of previously reported GCTs in the English language between 1982 and 2017 using Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane databases with keywords of "giant cell tumor" or "osteoclastoma" and "skull," "skull base," "temporal," "frontal," "sphenoid," or "occipital." These prior publication data were processed and used according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Aforementioned risk factors for the authors' series and the pooled cases were evaluated in patients not lost to follow-up (m = 38 and n = 128, respectively). RESULTS The authors' cohort included 28 males and 15 females with a mean age of 30.5 years. Gross-total resection (GTR) was achieved in 15 (34.9%) patients. Fifteen patients (39.5%) who did not undergo GTR received postoperative radiotherapy with a mean total dose of 54.7 ± 4.1 Gy. After a mean follow-up of 71.3 months, 12 (31.6%) patients experienced recurrence, and 4 (10.5%) died of disease. The actuarial 5-year PFS and overall survival (OS) were 68.6% and 90.0% in the authors' cohort, respectively. A multivariate Cox regression analysis verified that partial resection (HR 7.909, 95% CI 2.296-27.247, p = 0.001), no radiotherapy (HR 0.114, 95% CI 0.023-0.568, p = 0.008), and Ki-67 ≥ 10% (HR 7.816, 95% CI 1.584-38.575, p = 0.012) were independent adverse factors for PFS. Among the 90 cases in the literature, GTR was achieved in 49 (54.4%) cases. Radiotherapy was administered to 33 (36.7%) patients with a mean total dose of 47.1 ± 5.6 Gy. After a mean follow-up of 31.5 months, recurrence and death occurred in 17 (18.9%) and 5 (5.6%) cases, respectively. Among the pooled cases, the 5-year PFS and OS were 69.6% and 89.2%, respectively. A multivariate model demonstrated that partial resection (HR 4.792, 95% CI 2.909-7.893, p < 0.001) and no radiotherapy (HR 0.165, 95% CI 0.065-0.423, p < 0.001) were independent adverse factors for poor PFS. CONCLUSIONS GTR and radiotherapy were independent favorable factors for PFS of intracranial GCTs. Based on these findings, GTR alone or GTR plus radiotherapy was advocated as an optimal treatment; otherwise, partial resection plus radiotherapy with a dose ≥ 45 Gy, if tolerable, was a secondary alternative. Lack of randomized data of the study was stressed, and future studies with larger cohorts are necessary to verify these findings.Systematic review no.: CRD42018090878 (crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/).

Abstract
The aim of the study is to discuss the current management options for intra- and extra-cranial communication giant cell tumor of the lateral skull base and perform a review of the literature. A total of 6 patients with giant cell tumor of the lateral skull base were retrospectively enrolled in the study. The principal complaints, imaging manifestations, surgical resection and reconstruction of intra- and extra-cranial communication defects for the diseases were discussed. There were 2 males and 4 females. The most of principal complaints were discomfort or pain in the temporomandibular joint in 5 cases (83.3%). Imaging examination showed invasion of the temporal bone alone in 3 cases (50.0%) and both temporal bone and sphenoid bone involvement in 3 cases (50.0%). C-shaped preauricular infratemporal fossa approach was used for tumour removal and gross total resection was done in all 6 cases. The pedicled temporal muscle fascial flap was used to reconstruct the intra- and extra-cranial communication defect of the lateral skull base. The conclusion is that giant cell tumor is a benign tumor but is also locally aggressive. Gross total resection is the most commonly recommended treatment choice for giant cell tumor of the skull and can achieve good treatment outcomes. The temporalis muscle flap is a good alternative choice for reconstruction of the defect.

Abstract
We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a giant cell tumour (GCT) of the right maxilla and pterygoid process. The patient presented to the maxillofacial and head and neck surgery clinic with an ulcerated lesion of the hard palate. Initial workup with CT revealed a mass within the right maxillary sinus and pterygoid process with associated bone expansion and erosion. Biopsy showed a GCT with mucosal ulceration. Two years after surgical resection, a follow-up CT revealed tumour recurrence involving the right pterygoid process and lateral pterygoid muscle. The patient was then proposed for therapy with denosumab. Under denosumab treatment, the lesion maintained stable dimensions and became sclerotic and heavily ossified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are benign tumors with a predilection for the epimetaphyseal region of the long bones. GCTs involving the skull base are rare, and only a few available cases have been reported. Surgical gross total resection is the recommended method of treatment for GCTs. In the case of skull base tumors, it is very difficult to achieve such a result by direct surgical resection alone without any morbidities. Denosumab is a fully humanized monoclonal anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand antibody that has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of GCTs that are surgically unresectable, metastatic, and have a high risk of progression and recurrence. Denosumab has been used in many cases involving the long bones. However, in cases of skull base GCTs, only a limited number of cases have been reported. In addition, in such cases, it was used as postoperative chemotherapy owing to subtotal resection. CASE DESCRIPTION For the present patient, we adopted a unique approach in which denosumab was administered as neoadjuvant chemotherapy to reduce the size of the tumor to a resectable level. Subsequently, surgical resection was performed with good functional and histopathological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Our findings emphasize the use of denosumab as a neoadjuvant treatment routinely for all cases of skull base GCTs to achieve safe and complete excision of the tumor.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare, benign, osteolytic neoplasm that most commonly occurs in early adulthood and often involves the long bones of the body. Although GCTB largely affects the epiphyses of long bones, several reports of GCTB involvement of the cranial and facial bones exist in the literature. In addition to reviewing other reported cases of GCTBs of the lateral skull base in the literature, the authors report here on the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and neurosurgical management of a patient found to have a GCTB of the middle and infratemporal fossae, which was treated by aggressive en bloc resection of the lateral skull base.

Abstract
Background Giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is a rare primary bone tumor, which can metastasize and undergo malignant transformation. The standard treatment of GCT is surgery. In patients with unresectable or metastatic disease, additional therapeutic options are available. These include blocking of the receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL) signaling pathway, which plays a role in the pathogenesis of GCT of bone, via the anti-RANKL monoclonal antibody denosumab. Case Presentation Herein we report on a female teenager who presented in a very poor clinical condition (cachexia, diplopia, strabismus, dysphonia with palsy of cranial nerves V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII) due to progressive disease, after incomplete resection and adjuvant radiotherapy, of a GCT which affected the cervical spine (C1 and C2) as well as the skull base; and who had an impressive clinical response to denosumab therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest patient ever reported with a skull base tumor treated with denosumab. Conclusion In situations when surgery can be postponed and local aggressiveness of the tumor does not urge for acute surgical intervention, upfront use of denosumab in order to reduce the tumor size might be considered. Principally, the goal of denosumab therapy is to reduce tumor size as much as possible, with the ultimate goal to make local surgery (or as in our case re-surgery) amenable. However, improvement in quality of life, as demonstrated in our patient, is also an important aspect of such targeted therapies.
