Abstract

Giant-cell tumor of bone is a relatively uncommon tumor in skeletally immature patients. It also occurs only infrequently in the hand. We present two cases of this tumor occurring in the hands of pediatric patients and discuss the literature regarding this disease process, including clinical presentation, pathology, and options for treatment.
