Abstract
Giant cell tumour of the bone (GCT) or osteoclastoma is a relatively uncommon, generally benign and locally aggressive tumour. It comprises around 5% of primary bone tumours and 20% of benign bone tumours. Around 55% of the giant cell tumours occur adjacent to the knee joint either in the distal end of femur or the tibia. We present a case of 58 year old female with a giant cell tumour of the right sided distal end of femur with inability to mobilize the limb. The patient was managed operatively by right sided intralesional curettage and bone grafting with cementing of the distal femur. The patient has improved symptomatically with no joint stiffness, no pain and near normal range of motion.
