title: An unusual presentation of a rare chest wall tumour: giant cell tumour of bone.
abstract: Giant cell tumour of bone is an aggressive benign bone tumour. It rarely affects the ribs. It usually involves the posterior end of the ribs and literature regarding anterior end involvement is scanty. We report a case of giant cell tumour of the anterior end of the rib masquerading as a sub-mammary abscess in lactating women.
