Giant-cell tumor of the sphenoid bone: case report and review of the literature.
We report the case of a 23-year-old man with a giant-cell tumor of the sphenoid bone. The radiologic manifestations consisted of an expansile mass arising from the sphenoid bone with extension into the cranial cavity and the nasopharynx. The findings with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging best reflected respectively the osseous and soft-tissue extent of the disease.
