TitleTibia - giant cell tumour
DescriptionFemale age 26 years. This lady presented with pain in her right knee which had followed a minor injury six months previously. She had latterly noticed a swelling in the upper end of the tibia which was warm and tender. Biopsy confirmed a giant cell tumour which was treated with radiotherapy. Less than a year has elapsed since, so that the final result is not known.
The x-rays show slightly expanded, largely lytic lesion of the upper end of the tibia extending to the articular surface, delicate and irregular septa of bone exist throughout.
