Abstract
A variety of tumours and tumour like conditions occur in hand, which are usually benign. Malignant neoplasms in hand are rare. Giant cell tumours (GCT) in the bones of the hand comprise only less than 1% of all giant cell tumours. Though GCT of metacarpals,scaphoid, tendon sheath and soft tissue of hand have been reported 1,2,3,4,5,6 ,GCT of phalanges are very rare.We have come across only one or two scattered cases of GCT of the phalanges during our worldwide literature search but we got no reference of any bilobular GCT involving a phalanx.Keeping in mind the raritywe present a case ofbilobularGCT of index finger proximal phalanx treated with ray amputation. Keywords:Bilobulartumour,GCT, index finger, proximal phalanx, ray amputation
