Abstract : INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE: Giant cell tumour is a benign but aggressive lesion consisting of osteoclast like giant cells, fibroblast like stromal cells and blood vessels. They represent 5% of neoplasms of bone. Patients usually present in the age group of 20 to 30 years with non specific symptoms like pain, swelling and decreased range of motion. This case of Giant cell tumour was aggressive with breaching of the cortex. MATERIAL AND METHODS:A 22year old female patient presented to Gandhi Hospital with chief complaint of pain in the right knee for 2 years with no history of trauma. Pain was insidious in onset and aggravated with walking and relieved on rest. There was no visible swelling. MRI revealed that there was a breach in the cortex of distal femur. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Clinical, radiological and biopsy evaluation has been done which is suggestive of giant cell tumour for which curettage and bone grating with Distal femoral locking plate was done.Ipsilateral Fibular and iliac crest autograft was used for bone grafting.
