Recurrent Giant Cell Tumour with Secondary Aneurysmal Bone Cyst in Cuboid Bone: A Case Report
This case report discusses Giant Cell Tumors of Bone (GCTB), constituting 5% of bone tumors, often found in long bones but rarely in foot bones (2.6%). These tumors exhibit a spectrum from benign to locally aggressive, with high recurrence rates despite surgery. Occasionally, GCTB leads to seco...

| Summary: | This case report discusses Giant Cell Tumors of Bone (GCTB), constituting 5% of bone tumors, often found in long bones but rarely in foot bones (2.6%). These tumors exhibit a spectrum from benign to locally aggressive, with high recurrence rates despite surgery. Occasionally, GCTB leads to secondary Aneurysmal Bone Cysts (ABC), complicating diagnosis and treatment due to their similar presentation and high recurrence risk. The case involves a 25-year-old male with recurrent GCTB in the cuboid bone, initially excised. Subsequent evaluation revealed an expansive lesion, initially misinterpreted as other conditions. Histopathology confirmed secondary ABC arising in GCTB. Diagnostic biopsy, curettage, and tricortical bone grafting provided relief. Discussion highlights GCTB’s aggressive behavior in foot bones, challenges in diagnosing secondary ABC, and the success of extensive treatment in managing GCTB with secondary ABC. Managing such lesions effectively is crucial due to associated severe morbidity. The case emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach for diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence prevention, contributing to the evolving understanding of GCTB and secondary ABC interplay in different bone locations and to the growing body of literature on the challenging interplay between GCTB and secondary ABC.
