Giant Cell Tumor of Medial Malleolus

Abstract

Giant cell tumor (GCT), a rare bone neoplasm, is usually found in distal femur, proximal tibia and distal radius. In this report, an unusual case of GCT involving the medial malleolus is presented. A 32-years-old female who presented with complaints of pain and swelling of the left ankle for 2 months was investigated and diagnosed as GCT of the medial malleolus and treated with curettage, biopsy and reconstruction of medial malleolus with bone cement. In one year follow up she had a stable ankle joint, good functional outcome with no recurrence.
