About this study

Official title: Giant Cell Tumor of the Bone in Patients Under 15 Years Old: a Single Institution Case-series

single institution cases series review of histological and clinical data of young patient with Giant Cell Tumors

Medical subject headings
Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. selection and review of 50 cases of young patients with Giant Cell Tumor of bone.

    Investigators will review all the medical records, radiological imaging, and histological slides of all cases in order to collect the largest pediatric series.

    Measured: at baseline (Day0)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. analysis of H3F3A mutation expression on tissue tumor material

    In all cases with enough available material, immunohistochemistry will be performed on tumor tissue material. Histone 3.3 (H3.3) genes, and H3F3A mutation will be analyzed with immunohistochemistry and/or by allele specific-PCR analysis in order to confirm that the lesions are a giant cell tumors of bone occurring in a non-canonic age group (skeletally immature patients).

    Measured: at baseline (Day0)
