Abstract
A giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone arising from a phalanx of a finger is an extremely rare entity. Only 2% of all reported GCTs are found in the hand, which shows a higher rate of recurrence as compared to those occurring at a more proximal location. Here, we report a case of recurrence of GCT of the proximal phalanx of the middle finger in a 52-year-old female, which was initially treated with extended curettage and bone grafting. Within 1 year, there was a recurrence of the tumor and a ray amputation had to be performed.
