Abstract

Giant cell tumours are benign, locally aggressive bone tumours of young adults with a high potential for local recurrence. It is a rare and unpredictable lesion and clinical behaviour cannot be predicted based on clinical, radiological and histological features. Management is surgical and it is treated with either intralesional curettage or resection the role of adjuvant therapy is directed at reducing local recurrence. Recurrences are managed with en bloc resection and appropriate reconstruction.
