NAPOLES PEREZ, Mailyn; TAMAYO FIGUEROA, Alicia; RIZO FIALLO, Yaima  y  MARRERO RIVERON, Luis Oscar. Forearm giant cell tumor. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.2  Epub 10-Jun-2020. ISSN 1561-3100.

Giant cell tumor is defined as a benign bone tumor that aggressively invades soft tissue locally. We present a patient with a recurrent giant cell tumor in the distal third of the right radius, showing signs of superimposed necrosis and infection, which, given the injury magnitude and severity, required supracondylar amputation of the limb. Her postoperative evolution was favorable, and this patient underwent physical and psychological recovery.

Palabras clave : bone tumor; giant cell tumor; upper limb amputation.
