Giant cell tumour of clavicle: Occurrence of a common tumour in a rare location.
BACKGROUND
The clavicle is rare site of bone tumours. Majority of the tumours of clavicle are malignant and are often misdiagnosed due to low index of suspicion. The oncological patterns of clavicle resemble that of flat bones.

After thorough investigation a provisional diagnosis of giant cell tumor was made which was treated with partial claviculectomy. At one year follow up, there was no shoulder disability or any incidence of recurrence.


CONCLUSIONS
Since majority of clavicular tumors are malignant so any selling occurring in this area should be seen with high index of suspicion and should be investigated thoroughly.
