Abstract

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone was first established as a distinct clinicopathological radiographic entity in 1940 when Jaffe distinguished it from other lesions containing giant cells. GCT is rare in patients under 15 years of age. We report a case of GCT in a 10-year-old boy whose X-ray films showed osteolysis suggesting a malignant bone tumor. We believe this to be the youngest patient with giant cell bone tumor ever reported in the Japanese literature.
