[Results of x-ray studies on the development of giant cell tumors in the tubular bones].
Giant cell tumor definition is still a debatable problem in medicine. The disease is referred to as giant cell tumor, osteoblastoclastoma, local fibrous osteodystrophy. X-ray follow-up of more than twenty patients gave the author arguments in favour of the disease belonging to fibrous osteodystrophy. Roentgenologically, it is characterized by two phases: destructive with typical structureless defects and restorative with typical cellular structures of the affected bone site. For the most part, the disease is benign, rare cases of malignant transformation are attributed to adverse factors.
