Giant Cell Tumor of Left Distal Femur: A Case Report

Abstract Giant cell tumor (GCT) is one of the most common benign bone tumors, predominantly occurring in young adults aged between 25 to 45 years. Typically found at the metaphyseal or epiphyseal regions of the femur or tibia bone. GCT, despite its predominantly benign nature, exhibits a highly unpredictable spectrum of disease behavior. It has high recurrence rate. We introduce a report of a case of GCT in a female where lesion was identified at left distal thigh. Presentation of case: We describe a 29-year-old female patient with GCT over left distal thigh since six months.initially swelling was localised and insidious in onset not associated with fever and weight loss and sweling was not freely mobile, it is adherant to bone. Patient also complaints pain and localised tenderness. Radiographic and histopathological examination is necessary to help determine whether to take further treatment. Surgical excision was performed, including complete removal of the tumour. Histopathology suggested that the tumour was consistent with GCT without malignancy. There was no clinical and radiologic evidence of recurrence after three months of surgery.
