Expanded lesion curettage giant cell tumor of bone grade III

  Mr. Yu, 19 years old, had osteolytic bone destruction of the lower tibia with significant tumor breakthrough of the bone cortex, and biopsy confirmed giant cell tumor of bone. He was treated with a large bone graft scraped from the enlarged lesion, and the bone healed after six months. At 6 years follow-up, the tumor did not recur, functioned well, and returned to normal completely.  Conclusion: Grade III giant cell tumor of bone does not necessarily require resection of the tumor segment + reconstruction, and the use of expanded lesion scraping + bone grafting or bone cement filling is also a valuable option under certain conditions.
