title: [Lung metastasis of a benign giant cell tumor of the skeleton 27 years after resection of a recurrent tumor].
abstract: Benign giant cell bone tumors sometimes develop benign pulmonary metastases. Most of these appear 3 to 4 years after the treatment of the primary tumor. Metastases have been diagnosed up to 11 years after the first diagnosis. The following is a case report of a 58-year-old man who developed lung metastases 27 years after the treatment of an aggressive local recurrence.
