Imaging findings
Chest x-ray and subsequent CT revealed multiple well-defined, soft tissue density nodules in a vascular distribution within the pulmonary parenchyma. These nodules were resected and confirmed to be metastases.
Key takeaways
Giant cell tumors, particularly those that have been treated multiple times or have recurrent local disease, can metastasize to the lungs. It is noted that the more frequently a giant cell tumor is manipulated or 'pestered', the higher the likelihood of pulmonary metastasis.
