Abstract
This paper presents a case of a massive giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), Campanacci and Enneking type III, in an atypical location at the proximal end of the radius. In type I and II cases, surgical treatment is the treat-ment of choice: curettage of the lesion, replacement of bone defects with bone grafts or cement. Advanced type III changes frequently require segmental resection and joint reconstruction. In our patient, a segmental resection of the proximal third of the radius and infiltrated surrounding soft tissues was performed without reconstruction of the radius. A good clinical outcome without a relapse has been noted at one year post surgery.
