Recurrent giant cell tumor of the phalanx: A rare occurrence

Abstract

Recurrence of giant cell tumor (GCT) of hand is a common occurrence in this otherwise rare condition. We are reporting a case of GCT arising from the middle phalanx of little finger, which was treated with curettage and bone grafting and reported an early recurrence. The case was treated with total middle phalangectomy followed by reconstruction by iliac crest bone grafting and fusion successfully.
