Giant cell tumor (GCT) involving the hand, specifically the phalangeal bones, is very rare, accounting for only 2% of cases of the bone. This type of GCT is associated with more aggressive behaviour and higher recurrence and metastasis rate. We present a rare case of large GCT of the middle phalanx of ring finger in a 33 year old female. The patient was treated with wide excision and reconstruction using non-vascularized fibular graft. At her most recent follow-up time, 1 year post-surgery, the patient showed no symptoms with neither complication nor recurrence reported. |
