Abstract
Giant cell tumor was described by Sir Astley Cooper in 1818. This tumor is considered to be a benign tumor but has problems of recurrence and metastatic change after treatment. Methods of operative treatment of this tumor have included currettage, currettage and bone graft, excision, resection, excision and graft and amputation. We experienced a case of giant cell tumor which involved the distal part of right radius and treated by wide excision and fibular graft. The postoperative courses have been satisfactory because of no recurrence or malignant change. After 6 years and 1 month follow up, the patient was able to return to daily life without any problem.
