“…Because of the high recurrence rate associated with GCT of the small bones, Fujisawa et al (6) recommended amputation or complete block resection of the tumor as the primary surgical treatment of GCT of the phalanx. Alvarez Ramos et al (7) also recommended en bloc resection of the tumor, but not curettage, for the treatment of GCT located in the phalangeal bone.…”

Giant cell tumor accounts for approximately 6% of all bone tumors and above 20% cases of benign bone tumors. It typically involves the long bones in young adults with slight female preponderance. Its location at the distal phalanx of a toe is rather unusual. We report a rare case of giant cell tumor arising in the distal phalanx of the second toe in a 42-year-old female who presented with complains of pain and swelling of the second right toe. The tumor showed highly aggressive behavior with ulceration of skin necrosis and the radiography showed an expansile lesion in the distal phalanx. The patient underwent radical excision five months after diagnosis.

“…Literature showed only three other case reports of giant cell tumor of phalangeal bone of foot. [1][2][3] Giant cell tumors of bones in foot are known to occur in a younger age group more often in females and they tend to have more aggressive behavior both clinical and radiological than in other location. 4,5 They usually present with pain and swelling of the foot.…”

Giant cell tumors are benign tumors. They mostly occur after skeletal maturity. The long bones are commonly involved. Tumors involving the phalangeal bone of foot are very uncommon. The author reports a case of giant cell tumour involving the distal phalanx of great toe. A 30year old male has presented with swelling of great toe of right foot. X-ray showed an osteolytic lesion in distal phalanx of great toe. We did a En-block resection of phalanx. Histopathology showed Giant cell tumor. There was no recurrence of tumor on follow up. Giant cell tumor in such a location is usually aggressive and needs regular follow-up to detect local recurrence.
