Abstract

A giant cell tumor with local aggressiveness and penetration of cartilage is quite rare. We present
a case of fungating giant-cell tumor of lower end of the ulna with wrist involvement including
penetration of cartilage and diaphysis. Involvement with all these characteristics, according to the
literature reviewed, is the fi rst case of its type. We are of the opinion that the fungation may be due
to incision and drainage and delayed presentation at tertiary care centre
Key Words: Fungating giant-cell tumor, lower end of ulna, local aggressiveness, penetration of cartilage
