Abstract :

 INTRODUCTION– Giant cell tumour is one of the most common benign bone tumour found in clinical practice. More then 50% of these cases  occurs around knee. Distal radius is next common site. GCT of distal fibula is rare to occur. There are only few case reports in literature. Purpose of reporting  this case is to suggest management of such a case.                                                         CASE REPORT–  A 32year old male presented with a slow growing, painless swelling over lateral aspect of left ankle of one and half year duration. Plain radiographs were suggestive of a giant cell tumour with cortical each, which confirmed on bone biopsy. Surgical en–block resection of tumour done with reconstruction of ankle mortise with ipsilateral proximal fibula.                                                        CONCLUSION– GCT of distal fibula is extremely rare and pose challenges in management as there are no clear guidelines in literature. We recommend complete excision of this tumour with reconstruction of ankle mortise with proximal fibula ensuring good functional ankle post–operatively.
