ABSTRACT

El tumor de células gigantes de partes blandas de bajo potencial de maligno, es una neoplasia poco frecuente, clasifica dentro de las lesiones fibrohistiocíticas. Histológicamente es un tumor con hallazgos idénticos al tumor de células gigantes del hueso. Presentamos un caso correspondiente a esta neoplasia. Se trató de paciente de 26 años con una lesión tumoral 20 cm x15 cm x15 cm, en ambas regiones lumbares y región sacra. El estudio histológico reveló una neoplasia con abundantes células gigantes, células fusiformes, hemosiderina y hueso metaplásico. Los estudios inmunohistoquímicos demostraron fuerte positividad de CD68 para las células osteoclásticas. La evolución del paciente fue favorable, sin evidencia de recidivas. Es imprescindible realizar el diagnóstico diferencial de este tumor con otras neoplasias con abundantes células gigantes, como el tumor de células gigantes de la vaina tendinosa y el fibrohistiocitoma maligno rico en células gigantes, el cual es un sarcoma de alto grado


The giant cell tumor of soft tissues of low potential malignancy is a very rare tumor. It’s classified in fibrohistiocytic neoplasm and has features identical to giant cell tumor of bone. We present a clinical case for this less frequent malignancy. Patient 26 years old man with a tumor of 20 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm, in both lumbar and the sacral regions. Histological examination revealed a neoplasm with abundant giant cells, spindle cells, hemosiderin and metaplastic bone. The immunohistochemistry studies practice showed strong positivity of CD68 for the osteoclastic cells. The patient outcome was favorable, without evidence of recurrence. It is essential to make the differential diagnosis of this kind of tumor with other neoplasm with abundant giant cells, such as the giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath and malignant giant cell, also malignant fibrous hystiocitoma, which is rich in giant cells and high grade sarcoma
