Abstract

Giant cell tumors of the bone commonly occur in the epiphyseal scar of a long tubular bone, representing about 5% of all primary bone tumors. A short tubular bone, such as one in the hand or foot, is the site of less than 5% of all giant cell bone tumors. The authors report two cases in which giant cell tumors arose in the short tubular bone, and describe the clinical manifestations and radiologic findings.
