BackgroundSkin and soft tissue swellings (SSTS) frequently present in dermatology, plastic surgery, and general surgery departments. While a general surgeon can take care of excisable lesions, people typically seek plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. According to the signs and symptoms, soft tissue and skin lesions must be removed, and it is crucial to maintain cosmesis following their removal. ObjectiveThe aim of this article is to describe the clinical and histopathological types, sites, laterality, and postoperative complications of SSTS.

“…GCT-ST, is a relatively rare entity, and is clinically and histologically similar to its bone counterpart (2,3) . This rarity makes it difficult for clinicians to diagnose accurately before biopsy, resection of tumor (6,7) . Herein, we report a rare case of GCT-ST with comprehensively review 72 cases of GCT-ST that have been reported in the Englishlanguage literature (3,4,8) .…”

Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is a rare tumor of low malignant potential. Grossly and histologically similar to its bone counterpart. Majority has benign clinical course and rarely metastasizes. This is a case of a 46-year-old woman with a giant cell tumor of soft tissue of the knee. This tumor was not suspected clinically and was initially diagnosed as septic infra-patellar bursitis. The diagnosis of GCT-ST was made after histopathological examination. Herein, we describe the clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of this rare neoplasm.

BACKGROUND Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is an extremely rare low-grade soft tissue tumor that is originates in superficial tissue and rarely spreads deeper. GCT-ST has unpredictable behavior. It is mainly benign, but may sometimes become aggressive and potentially increase in size within a short period of time. CASE SUMMARY A 17-year-old man was suspected of having a fracture, based on radiography following left shoulder trauma. One month later, the swelling of the left shoulder continued to increase and the pain was obvious. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a soft tissue mass with strip-like calcifications in the left shoulder. The mass invaded the adjacent humerus and showed an insect-like area of destruction at the edge of the cortical bone of the upper humerus. The marrow cavity of the upper humerus was enlarged, and a soft tissue density was seen in the medullary cavity. Thoracic CT revealed multiple small nodules beneath the pleura of both lungs. A bone scan demonstrated increased activity in the left shoulder joint and proximal humerus. The mass showed mixed moderate hypointensity and hyperintensity on T1-weighted images, and mixed hyperintensity on T2-weighted fat-saturated images. The final diagnosis of GCT-ST was confirmed by pathology. CONCLUSION GCT-STs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors and monitored for large increases in size.
