  • Title: Osteoclast-like giant cells in leiomyomatous tumors of the uterus. A case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Aru A, Norup P, Bjerregaard B, Andreasson B, Horn T.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 2001 Apr; 80(4):371-4. PubMed ID: 11264616.
    Abstract:
    Osteoclast-like giant cells (OLGC) in leiomyomatous tumors of the uterus are rarely seen, and their significance is unknown. We present a case of a large leiomyomatous tumor in which OLGC were found in only few sections showing leiomyosarcoma whereas the majority of sections revealed a leiomyoma. Though radically operated, the patient died a few months later with recurrent tumor in the pelvis and metastases to the lungs.
