What is Giant cell tumor of the scapula: A review of 13 cases about?

This study reviews the demographic, radiologic, and histologic characteristics of 13 cases of an important primary skeletal neoplasm, giant cell tumor of bone, occurring in an uncommon location, the scapula. That eight of 13 patients presented prior to 20 years of age contrasts significantly with the typical age distribution (between 20-40 years) encountered in giant cell tumors arising in long bones. As it does elsewhere in the skeleton, giant cell tumor of the scapula frequently demonstrates cystic and/or telangiectatic components on histologic examination. The radiologic appearances of giant cell tumor in the scapula and in more typical locations are similar and include: (1) well-defined (geographic) margins, occasionally with a delicate sclerotic rim, (2) prominent trabeculations, (3) "expanded" bone contour, (4) frequent extension to the subchondral plate, and (5) absence of internal mineralization. Tumor sites within the scapula included: coracoid process, acromion, and body (three cases each); glenoid (two cases); and superior and inferior angles (one case each).
