Giant cell tumors mostly involves the long bones with the proximal tibia and distal femur sites. Giant cell tumors of the spine presenting above the level of the sacrum is relatively less common. We report a patient with GCT arising from dorsal vertebrae and presenting as a huge mediastinal mass. A 25-year-old female presented with bilateral lower limb weakness, breathlessness, and difficulty in speaking. Chest X-ray showed bilateral upper lobe mass. On further evaluation with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the thorax a large well defined heterogeneously enhancing posterior mediastinal lesion with necrotic areas within and bony infiltration was noted. Sequential chest X-ray was suggestive of rapid progression within 15 days. Ultrasound-guided biopsy of mass lesion revealed features of giant cell tumor with immunohistochemical markers strongly positive for CD68, negative for S100, and β -HCG. The patient was subsequently started on denosumab given unresectable pulmonary metastasis.","PeriodicalId":133412,"journal":{"name":"The Indian Journal of Chest Diseases and Allied Sciences","volume":"103 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141835663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that OSA and obesity are strongly associated, few studies have examined the associations between anthropometric obesity indices and OSA, especially in the South Indian population. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of anthropometric obesity indices on OSA in an Indian population. Materials and Methods: Anthropometric indices, such as neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI), were assessed in 50 subjects with suspected OSA. Results: Of the 50 subjects assessed, 39 (78%) were diagnosed with OSA, and 11 (22%) had no OSA. Of these, 37 (74%) were males and 13 (26%) were females. Patients with OSA had a significantly higher age, BMI, WC, and NC than patients without OSA. The mean cut-off values of NC, WC, and BMI in males were 39, 93.8, and 29.8 respectively. The mean cut-off values of NC, WC, and BMI in females were 39.3, 96.5, and 30 respectively. Conclusion: Increased anthropometric indices were significantly associated with the presence and severity of OSA in the Indian population. This study also demonstrated the mean cut-off values for increased OSA risk for body mass index, waist circumference, and neck circumference. When the means of different variables are compared with three degrees of severity of OSA it was observed that BMI and NC had a significant difference while WC had no significant difference based on severity.","PeriodicalId":133412,"journal":{"name":"The Indian Journal of Chest Diseases and Allied Sciences","volume":"12 s14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141835466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
