    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_giant-cell_granuloma

    Central giant-cell granuloma (CGCG) is a localised benign condition of the jaws.It is twice as common in females and is more likely to occur before age 30. Central giant-cell granulomas are more common in the anterior mandible, often crossing the midline and causing painless swellings.

  3. Giant-cell tumor of bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-cell_tumor_of_bone

    Giant-cell tumor of the bone accounts for 4-5% of primary bone tumors and about 20% of benign bone tumors. [15] However, significantly higher incidence rates are observed in Asia, where it constitutes about 20% of all primary bone tumors in China. [ 16 ]

  4. Adamantinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamantinoma

    Prognosis is excellent, with overall survival of 85% at 10 years, but is lower when wide surgical margins cannot be obtained. This tumor is insensitive to radiation so chemotherapy is not typically used unless the cancer has metastasized to the lungs or other organs. [2]

  5. Tenosynovial giant cell tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenosynovial_giant_cell_tumor

    Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a non-malignant tumor defined histologically as inclusions of “osteoclast-like” multinucleated giant cells, hemosiderin, and macrophages. [1] This histology can present one of 2 clinically distinct ways. TGCT tumors often develop from the lining of joints (also known as synovial tissue).

  6. Cancer survival rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_survival_rates

    Small cell lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of 4% according to Cancer Centers of America's Website. [5] The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer.

  7. Osteosarcoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteosarcoma

    Despite the success of chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, it has one of the lowest survival rates for pediatric cancer. The best reported 10-year survival rate is 92%; the protocol used is an aggressive intra-arterial regimen that individualizes therapy based on arteriographic response. [28] Three-year event-free survival ranges from 50% to 75% ...

  8. Giant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_cell

    A giant cell (also known as a multinucleated giant cell, or multinucleate giant cell) is a mass formed by the union of several distinct cells (usually histiocytes), often forming a granuloma. [ 1 ] Although there is typically a focus on the pathological aspects of multinucleate giant cells (MGCs), they also play many important physiological roles.

  9. Aneurysmal bone cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurysmal_bone_cyst

    An aneurysmal bone cyst can arise from a pre-existing chondroblastoma, a chondromyxoid fibroma, an osteoblastoma, a giant cell tumor, or fibrous dysplasia. A giant cell tumor is the most common cause, occurring in 19–39% of cases. Less frequently, it results from some malignant tumors, such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and ...
