| Abstrakt: | Giant cell tumor of the bone is a locally aggressive and rarely metastasizing tumor that typically affects the ends of long bones. Less than 1% of giant cell tumor of bone occur in the ribs. Our patients were a 32-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man and were detected following chest traumas. No bone alterations were detected in radiological studies performed immediately after local trauma. Six- and one- months, respectively, following chest trauma, both giant lytic heterogeneous masses arising on an anterior rib arc were radiologically observed. In the computerized tomography-guided needle biopsy, giant cell tumor of bone were diagnosed. Both tumors were completely removed by bloc resection including the adjacent ribs and posterior reconstruction were performed. One patient was preoperatively treated with denosumab. Neither local recurrences nor metastasis have been detected in follow-up. Despite its low frequency and its low degree of suspicion, giant cell tumor of bone should be included in the differential diagnosis of a rapid growing chest mass.
