GIANT CELL TUMOR RARE SITES OF PRESENTATION

RAMESH PRABU

Abstract


Giant cell tumor(GCT) is a
benign, locally aggressive tumor. It is
most commonly found in epiphysiometaphyseal
region of distal femur,
proximal tibia and distal radius. GCT in
metaphysio-diaphyseal region of proximal
tibia and epiphyseal region of medial
condyle of humerus has rarely been reported
in literature. In this study, I am
presenting two cases of giant cell tumor
in rare sites.
Keyword :GCT, metaphysio-diaphysis,
medial condyle humerus, proximal tibia,
extended curettage, cortico- cancellous
bone graft.
