A Rare Case of Giant Cell Tumour of the Medial Epicondyle of the Humerus Managed With Curettage and Bone Grafting

Giant cell tumours (GCTs) of the medial epicondyle of the humerus are rare. These are generally benign tumours but have the potential to be locally aggressive. They can invade the adjacent joint or the surrounding soft tissues or, in rare cases, cause distant metastasis. Locally aggressive GCTs are...

description Giant cell tumours (GCTs) of the medial epicondyle of the humerus are rare. These are generally benign tumours but have the potential to be locally aggressive. They can invade the adjacent joint or the surrounding soft tissues or, in rare cases, cause distant metastasis. Locally aggressive GCTs are generally treated with wide resection, curettage, and bone grafting, followed by joint reconstructions. Here we present a case of a 49-year-old female with a history of swelling over the medial epicondyle of the humerus for six months. The patient was diagnosed with a locally aggressive GCT and was managed with wide excision of the tumour followed by sandwich bone grafting. A two-year follow-up of the patient shows no signs of recurrence. The patient is pain-free and has decent elbow function.
