Abstract
Although soft tissue giant cell tumor (GCT-ST) of low malignant potential is usually located in the extremities, it is uncommonly reported in the head and neck region. It has been considered as the soft tissue counterpart of giant cell tumor of bone, because of their histological and immunohistochemical similarity and a clear entity of benign prognosis, lacking marked atypia and pleomorphism. In the present study it was aimed to report the case of a 65-year-old man who was admitted to Burdur State Hospital, complaining of a painless solitary nodule arising in the superior lip and to review the literature about GCT- STs involving the head and neck region.
