ABSTRACT

O Tumor de Células Gigantes (TGC), é um tumor benigno, com ocorrência de recidiva em cerca de 20-34 por cento dos casos. A localização habitual é na epífise dos ossos longos. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso de TGC em vértebra, com diagnóstico inicial de Cisto Osseo Aneurismático (COA), e discutir os diagnósticos diferenciais possíveis, correlacionando-os com as características dos exames de imagens. Paciente com 37 anos, do sexo feminino, com quadro clínico de dor na coluna e paraparesia há 2 meses. O diagnóstico inicial foi de COA. Na radiografia a lesão era lítica, com, erosão e destruição da cortical..A tomografia e ressonância evidenciavam lesão cística e hemorrágica, com extensão para partes moles. A revisão das lâminas e análise do espécime cirúrgico ressecado, submetido à coloração HE e imunoistoquímica com marcador para p53, permitiram o diagnóstico de TGC. Muitas lesões, benignas apresentam células gigantes multinucleadas. Os exames de imagem nem sempre permitem um diagnóstico conclusivo. O diagnóstico definitivo de TGC depende do exame anatomopatológico, com avaliação cuidadosa do componente estromal e a imunoexpressão positiva para a proteína p53. O tratamento é a ressecção cirúrgica, com margens amplas seguida por instrumentação nos casos de tumor localizados na coluna vertebral.


Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) is a benign tumor, with a recurrence rate of about 20 percent - 34 percent of the cases. It is usually located at long bone epiphysis. The objective of this study is to report a GCT case in a vertebra, which was early diagnosed as Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC), and to discuss potential differential diagnosis, correlating them to patterns shown on imaging tests. This patient is a 37 year-old female, with clinical picture of pain in spine and paraparesis that started two months earlier. An early diagnosis of ACB was delivered. At X-ray, the injury was lithic, with erosion and cortical destruction. Tomography and resonance showed a cystic and hemorrhagic injury, extending to soft parts. Slides review and the analysis of dried surgical matter submitted to HE and immunohistochemical staining with p53 marker allowed for GCT diagnosis. Many benign lesions present with multi-nucleated giant cells. Imaging tests not always enable a conclusive diagnosis. A definite GCT diagnosis depends on anatomicopathological test, with careful evaluation of the stromal component and positive immunoexpression for p53 protein. Treatment is delivered as surgical resection, with wide margins, followed by instrumentation in cases of tumors located at spine.
