【 摘 要 】

Primary giant cell tumors of soft tissue (GCT-ST) bearing a resemblance to giant cell tumors of bone, are rare but distinct entities, first described by Salm and Sissons in 1972, closely followed by Guccion and Enzinger. [1,2]The low malignant potential but high propensity of recurrence is well recognized. The tumor is very rare in India, with approximately ten cases having been reported. Here we report a case of a giant cell tumor of soft tissue in a 63 year old male that was managed by performing a wide excision.
