Comprehensive Case Report Of A Giant Cell Tumor Involving The Proximal Phalanx Of The Left Great Toe Managed With Fibular Grafting

Giant cell tumors (GCT) involving the phalangeal bones of the foot are very rare: only 1-2% cases of GCT occur in the foot and are more common in females. We present a rare case of a benign giant cell tumor involving the proximal phalanx of the left great toe in a 23 year old male. The patient presented with a 3 month history of pain and gradually increasing swelling over the great toe of the left foot following trivial trauma to the foot while playing cricket. This case report aims to highlight the conventional radiographic, ultrasound and color Doppler, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a rare case report of a giant cell tumor involving the proximal phalanx of the left great toe managed with fibular grafting.
