  • Title: Rare site giant cell tumors: report of two cases on phalanges of the finger and review of literature.
    Author: Saikia KC, Bhuyan SK, Goswami S, Bora A.
    Journal: J Orthop Traumatol; 2009 Dec; 10(4):193-7. PubMed ID: 19787427.
    Abstract:
    Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone arising from a phalanx of a finger is extremely rare. We report two cases of GCT arising from a phalanx of a finger. One case presented with recurrence following the amputation of the left ring finger (performed elsewhere). He was treated successfully with ray amputation. The other case was treated primarily by intralesional curettage and autogenous bone graft. At their most recent follow-ups (80 and 24 months, respectively), both were recurrence free and had returned to their previous occupational and recreational activities.
