  • Title: Three cases of benign giant cell tumor with unusual imaging features.
    Author: Swanger R, Maldjian C, Murali R, Tenner M.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2008; 32(5):407-10. PubMed ID: 18760733.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Imaging findings for giant cell tumors (GCT) of the spine displaying aggressive characteristics have not been widely reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with biopsy-proven GCT were included in the study. Three cases fulfilled these criteria. RESULTS: MRI and CT demonstrated disc space involvement and vertebral body compression. CONCLUSION: Acute fracture, subluxation, and extension through the disc space have not been previously described and, while atypical for benign lesions, may in fact be typical for GCT of the spine.
