[Giant cell tumors. Follow-up of 85 cases. Clinical experiences of the Department of Orthopedics at the Cochin Hospital].

The results of a series of 86 cases with a follow-up of 2 to 23 years are presented. Treatment was surgical in all cases except in spine and pelvis. 24 cases were treated by curetage, 51 by resection in some cases after curetage. Block resection nearly suppresses the recurrences and, when used as the first treatment, may avoid secondary malignant degeneration.
