title: Multicentric giant cell tumor of skeleton.
abstract: A case of multicentric metachronous GCT was presented. The clinical and radiographic features of multicentric GCT as reported in the literature and in the present case were discussed. The multiple bone involvement made therapeutic assessment difficult. The surgical stage as well as the location of each lesion were important in planning surgery.
