Primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosed after surgical ablation of a costal mass mistaken for giant-cell bone tumor: a case report

Lara Vera, Mara Dolcino, Marco Mora … (2011)

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder characterized by elevated parathyroid hormone levels, which cause continuous osteoclastic bone resorption. Giant cell tumor of bone is an expansile osteolytic tumor that contains numerous osteoclast-like giant cells. There are many similarities in the radiological and histological features of giant cell tumor of bone and brown tumor. This is a rare benign focal osteolytic process most commonly caused by hyperparathyroidism. Case presentation We report the unusual case of a 40-year-old Caucasian woman in which primary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed after surgical ablation of a costal mass. The mass was suspected of being neoplastic and histopathology was compatible with a giant cell tumor of bone. On the basis of the biochemical results (including serum calcium, phosphorous and intact parathyroid hormone levels) primary hyperparathyroidism was suspected and a brown tumor secondary to refractory hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed. Conclusions Since giant cell tumor is a bone neoplasm that has major implications for the patient, the standard laboratory tests in patients with bone lesions are important for a correct diagnosis.

Soft Tissue Special Issue: Giant Cell-Rich Lesions of the Head and Neck Region

Jen-Chieh Lee, Hsuan‐Ying Huang (2020)

Giant cell-rich lesions represent a heterogeneous group of tumors and non-neoplastic lesions, usually arising in bone, which harbor varying number of reactive osteoclastic-type multinucleate giant cells as a common feature. Among these entities, some are confined to the head and neck region (e.g., central giant cell granuloma and mimicking lesions, i.e., peripheral giant cell granuloma and cherubism) or show a relative predilection for this region (e.g., aneurysmal bone cyst and brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism), while others are rare but associated with distinct underlying disease (e.g., giant cell tumor of bone) or histology (e.g., tenosynovial giant cell tumor of the temporomandibular joint and phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor of the jaws) when occurring in the head and neck. Collectively, these lesions pose great challenge in the pathologic diagnosis, which often requires combinatory assessment from the clinical, histopathologic, and/or molecular aspects. This review provides a summary of pertinent clinical and pathologic features and an update of recent molecular and genetic findings of these entities. The considerations in differential diagnosis as well as the effects of the emerging therapeutic RANKL-antagonizing antibody denosumab will also be addressed.
