Had a benign giant cell tumor removed from my upper thigh deep very close to my femur bone two years ago.  Recently tumor markers have been rising so they gave me another pet scan.  That scan found another tumor in the same area and Dr. believes is it malignant.  Anyone out there experience this? I am told it is pretty rare to happen.  Appreciate any feedback on this.

    Tumor markers are not reliable; my onc won't even do them.

    How dare he presume it is malignant before biopsy.  Especially since you had the history of a b-9 tumor there already.

     Best to you.  I don't have experience with this (yet) but wish you the best.
