The association of physiological cortisol and IVF treatment outcomes: a systematic review

[摘要] Background: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone arising from aphalanx of finger is extremely rare. Although, the occurrence of GCT in the hands is a rare, it has been reported that GCT of the small bones (small-bone GCT) carries a higher risk of local recurrence and metastasis than conventional GCT. Subjects and Method: We report two cases of GCT arising from a phalanx of a hand finger. First patient was treated with wide excision of the tumor and fusion with fibular bone graft with the help of a K-wire. Second patient was treated by excision of tumour (Curretage) with allograft bonegraft for bone defect. Results: At their most recent follow-ups (4 months, respectively), both were recurrence free and had returned to their previous occupational and recreational activities. Conclusion: The effectiveness of these methods in the treatment and prevention of recurrence is still under discussion and there is no gold standard for treating GCT.
