The dilemma of denosumab: Salvage of a femoral head giant cell tumour

Abstract: INTRODUCTIONDenosumab is a monoclonal RANKL antibody which has been shown to be highly effective in treating giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone. We report on its use as a neo-adjuvant agent to avoid morbid surgery for an adolescent.PRESENTATION OF CASEWe report a case of a15-year old female with a Campanacci 3 GCT involving the femoral head and neck.DISCUSSIONTo preserve bone stock and avoid an outright hip replacement, the patient was given denosumab pre-operatively to consolidate the tumour. After receiving 6 m… Show more

“…Gaston et al administered 6 months of subcutaneous denosumab injections for GCT of the femoral head and demonstrated the development of a rim of cortical bone, allowing for extended curettage of the tumor and a potential delay in need for arthroplasty. 25 Although promising, the literature has shown these results to be inconclusive and there is no definitive evidence to support the use of denosumab in lesions of the proximal femur.…”

“…These alternative therapeutic strategies are useful for large aggressive lesions to cure or reduce the size and thus decrease the need for extensive surgical resection that can result in functional and esthetic deficits in young patients. 10,11,12 Harris 13 first announced calcitonin therapy for CGCG in 1993 and since then several case reports have been published on successful treatment of this lesion using different types of calcitonin and various strategies of administration. 3 Calcitonin has been administered as a nasal spray or as reports have been published on successful treatment of this lesion using different types of calcitonin and various strategies of administration.…”
