  • Title: Curettage and radiotherapy of giant cell tumour of the sacrum: a case report with a 10-year follow-up.
    Author: Kanamori M, Ohmori K.
    Journal: J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong); 2005 Aug; 13(2):171-3. PubMed ID: 16131681.
    Abstract:
    A case report of a 53-year-old woman with giant cell tumour of the sacrum is presented. Initial curettage was performed through a posterior approach and the patient was relieved of pain and discharged. However, 6 months later the patient was readmitted with a tumour that had progressed towards the L5 vertebra. A further curettage followed by adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in successful reduction of the tumour. Ten years after the operation, there was no recurrence or metastasis.
