Resumo

O tumor de células gigantes é uma lesão óssea primária benigna que acomete a epífise de ossos longos, com maior incidência na terceira e quarta décadas de vida, mas que pode apresentar comportamento de um tumor maligno, com metástases à distância. Até dez por cento dos doentes podem apresentar metástases à distância, principalmente para o pulmão, geralmente acompanhadas de recidiva no local primário. O tratamento do tumor primário é a ampla ressecção cirúrgica. Os autores relatam o caso de um doente com 35 anos com metástases pulmonares 21 meses após ter realizado curetagem de tumor de células gigantes em fémur distal.

Abstract

Gian cell is normally a benign primary skeletal lesion located in the epiphysis of the long bones. It is more frequente in the third and fourth decades of life but can exhibit the behaviour of a malignant tumour with distal metatasis. Up to 10% of patients present distal metatasis, usually in the lung, and it is concomitant to recurrence in the primary site. The treatment of primary tumour is extensive surgical resection. We report a case of a 35-year-old patient with lung metatases 21 months after curettage of giant cell tumour in distal femur.
