Abstract
Abstract:Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign but locally aggressive tumour usually found in the long bones, most often the distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius. This tumour is uncommon in the foot accounting for less than 4% of all the GCTs. We are reporting a case of 15 year old male who came to Orthopaedics Department with complaints of pain & swelling in the right ankle for past 1year.The radiographic image of the patient’s right ankle failed to reveal a fracture or dislocation, it revealeda osteolytic lesion suggestive of Giant cell tumour of ankle. Open biopsy was taken and sent for histopathological examination which also confirmed Giant cell tumour of ankle. Excision and curettage was done. Keywords:Giant cell tumour, Ankle, Recurrence.
