| dc.description.abstract | Background: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) rarely originates in the skull, particularly in the occipital bone. Although benign, it can severely destroy the surrounding tissue and undergo an unpredictable clinical course. We report the successful resection of a GCTB invading the occipital bone in a Hispanic adult woman and present a comprehensive review of the literature on this rare pathology by focusing on the occipital area. Case Description: A 40-year-old Hispanic woman presented with a 3-month history of neck pain and a bulging lesion on the retromastoid area. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an extradural, expansive, and contrast-enhancing lesion in the right occipital bone with multiple thin septa and evidence of bleeding. The patient underwent an uneventful gross total resection (GTR) of the lesion. The histopathological examination findings included numerous scattered osteoclast-type giant multinucleated cells. At a 10-month follow-up, the patient has not developed any neurological deficits, impairment of life functioning, or signs of recurrence in MRI. Conclusion: GCTB rarely originates in the skull, being the occipital bone the most infrequent site of presentation. When feasible, total surgical resection effectively reduces the risk of recurrence. Nonetheless, radiation and adjuvant therapies have been employed when GTR could not be achieved. A close follow-up with a brain MRI is advised to control recurrence. © 2022 Published by Scientific Scholar on behalf of Surgical Neurology International. | en_US |
