Giant cell tumor of bone x ray

X-Ray
On x-ray, giant cell tumors (GCTs) have a metaepiphyseal location and grow to the articular surface of the involved bone. They are distinguishable from other bony tumors in that GCTs usually have a non-sclerotic and sharply defined border. Because giant cell tumors are known to metastasize, when the diagnosis of giant cell tumor is suspected, a chest x-ray or CT may be needed.
