摘要
A 13 year old girl presented with a painful and swollen left middle finger with no overlying skin abnormality. There was no history of past trauma. A radiograph showed a radiolucent lesion, within the middle phalanx, with surrounding cortical thinning. No new bone formation. Histological analysis reported benign cartilaginous lesion. With provisional diagnosis of Enchondroma, curettage and cortico-cancellous grafting was done. Over a 4 month duration, the graft absorbed and increase in swelling and brake in cortex. Suspecting a giant cell tumour of bone, amputation of finger through middle phalanx was done. Histology Specimen confirmed giant cell tumour. The patient had excellent hand function and has had no complications. BACKGROUND: Giant cell tumor commonly occurs in upper middle age group females at epiphyses of long bones. Occurrence in children found in the hand.([1])
