Soft Tissue Giant Cell Tumor of the Superior Lip: A Case Report

Abstract

Although soft tissue giant cell tumor (GCT-ST) of low malignant potential is usually located in the extremities, it is uncommonly reported in the head and neck region. It has been considered as the soft tissue counterpart of giant cell tumor of bone, because of their histological and immunohistochemical similarity and a clear entity of benign prognosis, lacking marked atypia and pleomorphism. In the present study it was aimed to report the case of a 65-year-old man who was admitted to Burdur State Hospital, complaining of a painless solitary nodule arising in the superior lip and to review the literature about GCTSTs involving the head and neck region

Üst Dudak Yerleşimli Yumuşak Doku Dev Hücreli Tümörü: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Düşük malign potansiyele sahip yumuşak doku dev hücreli tümörü (GCT-ST), genellikle ekstremite tutulumlu olsa da, nadiren baş ve boyun bölgesinde de bildirilmektedir. GCTST, işaretli atipi ve pleomorfizmin olmaması, net benign prognoz varlığı, histolojik ve immünohistokimyasal benzerlikleri sebebiyle kemikteki dev hücreli tümörün yumuşak doku muadili olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Burdur Devlet Hastanesi’ne başvuran 65 yaşındaki erkek hastanın üst dudağında ortaya çıkmış olan ağrısız soliter nodül olgusunun bildirilmesi ve baş ve boyun bölgesinde tutulum gösteren GCT-ST’lerle ilgili literatürün değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
