AbstractThe serum acid phosphatase value was examined in nine patients with giant cell tumour of bone. Five showed a high level of acid phosphatase, which fell to within normal limits after surgery. Although the remaining four patients showed a normal acid phosphatase level before surgery, the postoperative acid phosphatase level was lower than the preoperative level in each case. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that serum acid phosphatase is a useful tumour marker in diagnosing giant cell tumour of bone as well as in evaluating the efficacy of treatment.
