Multicentric GCT of tarsal bones in an immature skeleton: a case report with review of literature.
Multicentric giant cell tumor of the foot is rare. Multicentric giant cell tumor of the tarsal bones in an immature skeleton is unheard of. We report a case of synchronous multicentric giant cell tumor involving the talus and calcaneum in a 14-year-old boy with open epiphyseal plate for its rarity and successful treatment by curettage and synthetic bone graft.
