Abstract
We report a rare case of late recurrence of a giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone 16 years after curettage and cryosurgery treatment. A 46-year-old man presented with swelling and progressively worsening pain in the lateral aspect of his right distal femur. He had undergone 4 procedures elsewhere to manage a GCT of bone and its recurrence 16 to 23 years previously. He underwent en bloc resection with an adequate wide margin and reconstruction with prosthesis. At the one-year follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.
