Abstract

Background: Osteochondroma is the most common primary bone tumor. It commonly occurs in young people and the growth of the tumor ceases with maturity. The most common site is in long bones, namely, femur, tibia,and humerus.Osteochondroma of flat bones especially is a rarity. These tumors can arise from both the dorsal and the ventral surface. Snapping scapula syndrome is attributed to the variants arising from the ventral surface. We have evaluated five cases involving scapula and treated them successfully.
Materials and Methods: Five cases of osteochondroma were evaluated, treated, and followed up after thorough evaluation clinically and radiographically.
Observation: All the five cases were treated successfully after thorough evaluation with no signs of recurrence. Patients had symptomatic relief and snapping scapula syndrome was relieved once the tumorwas removed with theexcellent functional outcome.
Keywords: Osteochondroma, scapula, snapping scapula syndrome.

Abstract

Giant cell tumor(GCT) of bone is a tumor of giant cell proliferation that usually affects men and women in the thirdand fourthdecades. Typical cases have straight-forward imaging appearances. Atypical cases may resemble many other benign and sometimes malignant lesions. Plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the mainstay of diagnosis, followed by biopsy and histology.Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) has a limited role to play.Aneurysmal bone cyst transformation within GCTs is known. This may change the imaging appearance. GCTs may be multifocal, locally aggressive, and may metastasize to nodes and lungs.Treatment with drugs like denosumab also changes the appearance on radiographs and MRI. Post-operative imaging can be a challenge, and picking up recurrence also requires high-quality radiographs, MRIs, and CT scans.
Keywords: Giant cell tumor, giant cell tumor, bone neoplasm, computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, plain radiograph.
