Keratin-Positive Giant Cell-Rich Tumor of Bone Harboring an HMGA2::NCOR2 Fusion: Two Cases,Including a Patient With Metastatic Disease,and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Giant cell-rich lesions of bone represent a heterogeneous group of entities which classically include giant cell tumor of bone, aneurysmal bone cyst, nonossifying fibroma, and Brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism. A recently described subset of giant cell-rich tumors involving bone and soft tissue has been characterized by recurrent HMGA2::NCOR2 fusions and keratin expression. The overlapping clinical, radiographic, and morphological features of these giant cell-rich lesions provide a unique diagnostic challenge, particularly on biopsy. We present 2 additional cases of keratin-positive giant cell-rich tumor of bone with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusions, including 1 patient who developed metastatic disease.
