Abstract
Several cases of long bone giant cell tumor have been reported in the literature. GCT represents 5 % - 8.6 % of all primary bone tumors and about 22.7 % of benign bone tumors. It is the 6th most common primary osseous neoplasm. The distal end of the ulna is an uncommon site for primary bone tumors. We report two cases of giant cell tumor in the distal ulna. This is very unusual, with a reported incidence of 0.45 to 3.2%. A 23-year-old Indian woman presented with a painful swelling of the left wrist. Clinically and radiologically, a diagnosis of distal ulna Giant cell tumor was made. The tumor was treated with wide resection and stabilisation of the ulnar stump using one half of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon. In another case a 27 year old Indian male also presented to us with painful swelling of the right wrist which was diagnosed as Giant cell tumor and managed by wide resection and stabilisation using ECU tendon. One year after operation, both the patient's wrist are having full range of motion and the patients are able to perform their activities of daily living. Postoperative X-rays showed no recurrence of the giant-cell tumor. The stability of the proximal stump of the distal ulna was also maintained.
