Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of MRI in diagnosis of giant cell tumor of bone.Methods Nine cases with giant cell tumor of bone proved by pathology were examined preoperation with MRI and X-ray film.CT was processed in 7 caaes.There were 4 males and 5 females,with a mean age of 32(range 14~62 years).The location of the tumor was in the proximal tibia(5 cases),the distal femur(2 cases),the distal radius(1 case)and the scapula(1 case).Results In all cases,the signal intensity of the tumor was low to intermediate on T 1WI,high homogeneous signal intensity in 5 cases on T 2WI,heterogeneous signal intensity in 4 cases.There was destruction of cortical bone in 5 cases.There wasn't osteoplaque in 3 cases.In 2 cases,the soft tissues and the joint were involved.The pathological macrosection tumor was crimson or brown in 3 cases with heterogeneous signal intensity on MRI.In another 5 cases with homogeneous signal intensity on MRI was brownish yellow or yellow.Conclusion Comparing the MRI,CT and X-ray film,diagnostic value of the giant cell tumor of bone,we believe:(1)CT scan is considered superior to MRI in showing the cortical bone destruction or in showing the osteoplaque.(2)MRI is considered superior to CT scan and X-ray film in showing the soft tissues the joint involvement.(3)MRI is fair super to evaluating the extension of the giant cell tumor of bone,but not super to quality diagnosis in the bone tumor.
