The relationship between recurrence and lung metastasis in giant cell tumor of bone
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between recurrence and lung metastasis in patients diagnosed with giant cell tumor of bone treated in our clinic and to present the other factors affecting the recurrence.
Material and Methods: The patients who were treated and followed up for a giant cell tumor of the bone between 2002 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 114 patients with a mean age of 31.6 ± 13.3 were included in the study.
Results: The mean follow-up period was 63.1 ± 33.4 months. Recurrence occurred in 26.3% (30 patients) of the patients in a mean of 17.1 months, while metastasis in the lung was found in 4.4% (5 patients). When the patients were evaluated according to their recurrence status, lung metastasis was observed in 13.3% of the patients with recurrence, while lung metastasis was observed in 1.2% of the patients without recurrence. Lung metastasis was found to be significantly higher in patients with recurrence than in the group without recurrence (p = 0.017). For lung metastasis, Hazard Ratio (HR) was calculated as 12.8 (95% CI: 1.4-119.5; p = 0.026).
Conclusion: Giant cell tumors of the bone are locally aggressive tumors with unpredictable behavior. In our study, when the patients were evaluated according to their recurrence status, lung metastasis was observed in 13.3% of the patients with recurrence, and 1.2% of the patients without recurrence. Lung metastasis was found to be significantly higher in patients with recurrence than in the group without recurrence.
