Giant cell tumour of clavicle
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Science - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
We report a case of Osteoclastoma in Clavicle bone in a young adult. Osteoclastoma usually occurs in juxta-articular ends of the long bones of skeletally mature individuals. Its occurance at lateral end of clavicle, a flat bone, is very rare. The diagnosis was based on histopathological report. The tumor was excised with a wide margin of healthy tissue and reconstrustion of lateral end of clavicle was done by free fibular graft and ligamentous reconstruction. Full functional ability and power was restored in the limb. The unusual location of Osteoclastoma in a flat bone and its successful treatment by prompted us to report this case.
