Excerpt

Spontaneous malignant transformation of giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone is not uncommon [6, 7, 911, 29]. Malignant transformation has been defined by many authors as a sarcoma associated with a benign typical GCT at presentation or as a sarcoma arising at the site of a preexisting GCT [6, 11] resulting in osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, or malignant histiocytoma [5, 31]. Many authors have reported a strong association between preventive radiation therapy in the treatment of GCT and secondary malignant transformation of the GCT [6, 8, 11, 23, 28, 37] and/or after several local recurrences of GCT [15, 18, 19]. However, malignant transformation without association to radiation therapy has also been reported [5, 8]. We report a case of GCT with transformation into a secondary malignant fibrous histiocytoma that developed after local GCT recurrence and had no association to adjuvant radiation therapy. …
