Abstract
Although almost all bone tumors contain giant cells, giant cell-rich lesions of bone encompass a number of entities in which the giant cells are an essential diagnostic component, chief among these are giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone, giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG), and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). These lesions may have overlapping histomorphologic features, yet each possesses its own unique characteristics. Accordingly, clinical and radiologic input is necessary for definitive classification of these lesions.
