Giant cell lesions appear from time to time.
The DDx is large:[1]
- True neoplasms:
- Giant cell tumour of bone.
- Giant cell tumour of soft tissue (peripheral giant cell granuloma). (???)
- Giant cell tumour of the jaw (central giant cell granuloma). (???)
- Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath.
- Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with giant cells.
- Osteosarcoma with giant cells.
- Aneurysmal bone cyst
- Giant cell reparative granuloma (AKA solid aneurysmal bone cyst[2]).
- Non-neoplastic:
- Granulomatous disease:
- Sarcoidosis.
- Other granulomatous disease.
- Foreign body giant cells.
- Other:
- Syncytiotrophoblasts:
- Choriocarcinoma.
- May be seen in seminoma/germinoma.[3][4]
- Syncytiotrophoblasts:
See also
- Bone.
- Giant cells.
- GCT - an abbreviation used for giant cell tumour and other tumours.
- Nuclear pleomorphism.
