ABSTRACT

Background: Among the most important elements for the diagnosis of bone neoplasms are the patient’s age, location of the tumor, and the appearance by conventional radiology. The giant cell tumor is a locally aggressive neoplasm that presents specific preference of location, with a characteristic appearance by conventional radiology, and occur in patients between the third and fourth decades of life. Objective: To describe the general findings found in a number of patients under 20 years of age with diagnosis of giant cell tumor of bone. Material and methods: This is an observational, descriptive, retrospective and of prevalence study, with a single measurement. Information was obtained from the orthopedic oncology consultation at our hospital. Results: Of a total of 56 patients diagnosed and properly documented, eight were under 20 years of age. Seven female patients, one male patient, all enrolled in the second decade of life. The locations differed from the most frequently reported in the literature. In patients with open epiphyses, the tumor originated in the metaphysis; four patients were diagnosed in stage II, and four patients in stage III of Campanacci. One patient developed pulmonary metastases, and another presented with a skip metastases. Conclusions: This is an uncommon tumor in skeletally immature patients; when present in patients younger than expected, it is with peculiar characteristics.
