Rare Presentation of a Facial Giant Cell Tumor: A Case Report by Nádia AH Fortes in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science
Giant
Cell Tumors (GCT) are benign bone neoplasms, of mesenchymal nature, with
uncertain biological behavior, uncommonly located in the craniofacial skeleton.
These tumors have a high probability of recurrence after surgical treatment. We
intend to report a case of GCT of grotesque dimensions located simultaneously
in the mandible, jaws, right malar bone, palatal bones, and maxillary sinus
walls, in an 18-year-old melanodermic male patient with 10-years evolution,
that was observed at the Central Hospital of Maputo-Mozambique. In which a
radical and oncological surgical treatment would be necessary considering the cure
of the patient with the lowest possible toxicity in the short and long term,
preserving the function and aesthetics of the patient, without excluding
periodic postoperative follow-up. In conclusion, it is a challenge to approach
this specific clinical case of a tumor with this type of presentation given
Mozambique’s unfavorable health care conditions.
