Multicentric giant cell reparative granuloma of the small bones of the hand. A case report and review of the literature.
Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) usually occurs in the jaw, but a histologically identical lesion is occasionally seen in the small bones of the hands and feet. A 24-year-old man had GCRG involving the second metacarpal and the capitate. The involvement of a carpal bone and the presence of multiple lesions are unusual for this entity.
