Abstract
- A giant cell tumor of bone is a benign bone tumor, but has very high local recurrence rate and, very rarely metastasizes to the lung or a distant area. We report a case of a 29-year-old male patient presenting with a metastatic giant cell tumor of the soft tissue of the chest wall, who underwent a total resection of the radius for recurrence of the giant cell tumor. The tumor was not related to any bony structure of the thorax. We resected the tumor with a wide surgical margin. No evidence of malignancy was seen in the frozen and permanent pathological report.
