Primary Giant Cell Tumor of the Breast With Pulmonary Metastasis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is an extremely rare tumor that is similar in morphology and immunohistochemistry to giant cell tumor of the bone. Almost 80% of these tumors occur in the upper and lower extremities, and the breast is a very rare location. Here, we report a case of a 65-year...
