Abstract:
Giant cell tumors (GCT) of hyoid bone are very rare, and only few individual cases were reported in literature. We present such a case of GCT arising from left cornu of hyoid bone. The patient underwent trans-cervical complete excision of the tumour. Postoperatively, patient did well without recurrence or metastasis for 2 years follow up.

01:12The Hyoid Bone
6.3K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

01:31Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
4.6K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...
