title: Giant cell tumor of the foot.
abstract: The author discusses giant cell tumor, often a monostotic bone tumor, as it affects the lower extremity. The lesion is most common at the ends of long tubular bones, and may transform into malignant pathology. Surgical resection with or without bone grafting is an accepted technique for treatment. Recurrent abnormality is possible, and close follow-up of these patients is recommended.
