AN ODD GIANT CELL TUMOR OF THE ILIAC BONE

Abstract

Giant cell tumors of the bone are benign primary tumors, that can be locally aggressive causing recurrence and metastasis.They are most commonly located in long bones, and uncommonly in the pelvic bones.We report the case of a young female patient admitted for a mass in her left hip, to which imaging showed an iliac bone tumor and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of a giant cell tumor of the iliac bone.
