A giant cell tumor in the right ankle was evaluated by Dual Energy CT examination.

A 56-year-old female patient presented with a swollen and painful right ankle. She reported a trauma to this ankle twenty years ago. She had noticed a growing soft-tissue mass on the right ankle for the past four years. The mass was associated with swelling and pain that became aggravated while walking. In the past two years, surgical excision had been performed twice to remove the mass due to its recurrence and accompanying severe pain. The histological result was not available at admission. A Dual Energy CT (DECT) examination was requested for further evaluation.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
