Abstract
Giant cell tumor is a neoplasm, arising from the non bone forming, supperting connective tissue of marrow.
The tumor is composed of a vascularized network of spindle shaped or ovoid stromal cell regularly and rather heavily interspersed with multinuclear cell.
Giant cell tumor is one of the highly recurrent Bone tumor, which has predilection for epiphysis of long bone in skeletally mature patient.
Clinical observation was carried out on 18 cases of giant cell tumor in the Department of orthopedic Surgery Colllege of medicine, Seoul National University from Nov. 1958 through Jun 1974.
The results were summarized as follows:
1) Giant cell tumor was rare, consisting of 22. 9% of the cases of primary malignent tumors of bone.
2) The peak incidence was in the age group from 20 to 29 years in 9 cases (50%.)
3) The sex distribution was 11 in males and 7 in females.
4) The most commonly affected sites were proximal tibia (5 cases) and around the knee (9cases, 50%).
5) Radical curettage and bone chip graft were performed as the treatment of 10 cases.
5) Postopratively some patients were complicated with recurrence, infection and pathological fracture
