Giant cell reparative granuloma(GCRG) is a non-neoplastic rapidly expanding and locally destructive tumor that occurs almost exclusively within the mandible and maxilla. A 58-year-old man, complained of a mass on the left infra-auricular area starting 2 months ago. The radiologic finding suggests a mass that originate from mandible, pathology diagnosed the lesion as a giant cell reparative granuloma. The tumor was surgically excised without complications. We report the case with a review of literature.

Chondromyxoid fibroma occurring in the hand is a rare benign tumor. Radiologically and histologically, it should be differentiated from the other benign bone lesions in the hand, such as enchondroma, chondroblastoma, giant cell reparative granuloma and chondrosarcoma. This report is dealt with 59-year-old female and 19-year-old male patient presenting lesions on their digits anddescribed unusual clinical, radiological and pathological features.

Giant cell tumor of the small bones of the hands and feet is rare. Giant cell tumors in these locations develop at young age, are more commonly multifocal, and show the higher risk of recurrence than those at the end of the long bone. It should be differentiated from the other lesions of the hands, such as giant cell reparative granuloma, aneurysmal bone cyst and enchondroma. We experienced a case of giant cell tumor in the proximal phalanx of the left hand with swelling and pain. Curettage and bone graft were performed. Histologically large number of giant cells were distributed diffusely in the highly cellular stroma containing sheets of mononuclear cells. Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst and hemorrhage were associated.
