title: [Reparative giant-cell granuloma of the extremities].
abstract: Giant-cell reparative granulomas are observed not infrequently in the mandible as sharply demarcated osteolytic lesions. On the other hand, these tumour-like lesions occurring in short tubular bones are rarely reported in the literature and, so far, only 27 cases have been described. We have records of five cases in the Westphalian Bone Tumour Register. The actual occurrence is probably greater if one assumes that the lesion is caused by an intra-osseous bleeding. This pathogenic mechanism is supported by histological evidence.
