Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone is a benign but locally aggressive and destructive lesion. GCT are prone to local recurrence. Although intra-osseous recurrence of GCT is a well-recognized complication, soft tissue recurrence are seen rarely and often have a peripheral rim of ossification, giving them a characteristic radiographic appearance. GCT may recur at the soft tissue after surgery in 2% of patients due to surgical implantation or tumor spread in patient with pathological fracture. Characteristically it is slow growing benign tumor most (80-90%) recur with in the first 3 years after initial treatment. In this case report we describe a very rare case of soft tissue implanted GCT which started to appear after two years of initial surgery for distal femur intra- osseous GCT.
