Summary
This paper deals with the paramyxovirus-like intranuclear inclusions observed in giant cells tumours of bone (GCTB). Twenty-one (49%) of 43 cases of GCTB (1977–1985), either fresh and/ or cultured, show these ultrastructural inclusions.
Fifty samples of various bone lesions in which giant cell lesions occurred, including aneurysmal cysts, hyperparathyroidism, osteoblastoma, human and rat osteopetrosis, GCT of tendon sheaths, and non skeletal granuloma were used as controls. These, together with 20 samples of normal bone (osteoclasts) did not contain intranuclear or intracytoplasmic viral inclusions.
