The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of H3.3 G34W for GCTB were 88.1% and 100%, respectively. This constitutes one of the first reports from our country, further validating the diagnostic value of H3.3 G34W in differentiating GCTB, including metastatic and malignant forms from its mimics, including small biopsy samples. Its value in various diagnostic dilemmas is presented and utility in identifying residual tumor cells in post-denosumab treated GCTBs is worth exploring.
