Abstract
Malignant giant cell tumor of bone (MGCTB) accounts for 0.07% of all cases of primary bone tumor. The rarity and complexity of this tumor give rise to some arguments about its histological differentiation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. In this paper, we present a 57-year-old man who has a large MGCTB in his rib with lung-targeted metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis. He underwent an operation followed by radiotherapy. The man has been free of recurrence or metastasis for 18 months.Entities:
