ABSTRACT
Giant cell tumor of the long bones is a relatively common neoplasm in young age patients, and this tumor usually involves the metaphysis and epiphysis. Due to the high rates of recurrence and the occasional development of pulmonary metastasis, this tumor has a malignant manifestation and it requires long term follow-up observation. Most local recurrences of giant cell tumor after surgery occur in the long bone that was previously curetted; however, the recurrence of tumor in the soft tissue around the long bones is known to be rare. We describe here a case of giant cell tumor that recurred in the soft tissue around the knee after wide resection of the distal femur and we discuss this case along with reviewing the related literature.
