Abstract

Background: Giant cell tumour is locally aggressive benign lesion arising from epiphysis of long bones, common in 2^nd and 3^rd decade of life. The most commonest sites being, lower end radius, upper end tibia, and lower end femur. Treatment depends upon stage of disease
Case History: Presenting here with a case of 36-yrs old male presented with pain and swelling at rt elbow. Patient having GCT arising from upper end radius, was treated with excision of lesion and reconstruction of 4-cm defect with custom-made radial head prosthesis.
Discussion: A literature review of GCT upper end radius is very scanty, hardly any reports available, however for a lesion involving head and around 3-cm of neck with pathological #, treatment remains excision of tumour and reconstruction with prosthetic radial head.
 

Keywords: GCT, Proximal radius, Resection, Reconstruction with prosthetic radial head.
