Abstract

Giant cell tumor, a benign, but locally aggressive primary bone tumor usually occurs in the ends of long bones and some flat bones. Its occurrence in the carpal bones is rare and has varied characteristics compared to other locations. We report the case of a 17-year-old girl diagnosed with giant cell tumor of the hamate, who was managed with excision and reconstruction with acrylic bone cement and went on to have a reasonably good outcome without recurrence. We discuss the clinico-radiological, histopathological and treatment modalities of giant cell tumors in the carpal bones.
