Managements of giant cell tumor within the distal radius: A retrospective study of 58 cases from a single center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in distal radius is a benign but invasive bone tumor characterized by strong aggressive behavior and frequent recurrence.

Methods

To identify recurrence related risk factors and decide suitable surgical strategy, the potential tumor- and treatment-specific factors, post-operative oncologic and functional outcomes were collected and analyzed from 58 patients with GCTB of the distal radius at our center.

Results

With the numbers available, our analysis strongly indicated soft tissue extension (with vs. without, HR: 5.645, 95% CI: 1.424 to 22.377, p = 0.014) and size of GCTB (diameter ≥ 5 cm vs. 5 cm HR: 3.893, 95% CI: 1.109 to 13.659, p = 0.034) are the two independent risk factors related to local relapse.
