Abstract
Introduction:Long bone giant cell tumors have been documented in the literature in a large number of cases. A patient with a large giant cell tumor in the distal ulna is described. With a reported prevalence of 0.5 to 6%, this is extremely rare. Case Presentation:A 16-year-old male presented to the orthopedic OPD with pain and swelling in the wrist. A diagnosis of distal ulna giant cell tumor was made after a histological examination. Intralesional curettage, phenol treatment, and bone grafting were used to treat the malignancy. Conclusion:If a giant cell tumor is detected early and treated aggressively, it has an excellent prognosis. It is critical to be aware of unusual cancer localizations in order to make an accurate diagnosis.
