A RARE CASE REPORT OF GIANT CELL TUMOR IN THE BODY OF TALUS AND OUR MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Giant cell tumor is described as neoplasm of undifferentiated mesenchymal stromal cells with presence of abundant, multi-nucleated giant cells. It is generally considered to be a benign tumor. Giant cell tumor rarely involves small bones of hand and foot, and is a rarity in the talus. We report a case of 13 year old female presenting with pain in left ankle since 2 months. X-ray showed a lytic lesion and MRI suggestive of Giant Cell Tumour. Treatment consisted of intralesional Curettage and cavity filled with hydroxyappatite granules. the histopathological features consistent with giant cell tumor. There were no signs of recurrence at 12 months follow up both clinically and radiologically and the patient was able walk with full weight bearing on affected limb without pain.
