Abstract:

Giant Cell Tumors (GCT) is one of the different types of neoplasms, and the clavicle is a one of the rare site of tumors. The Metastatic tumors are more common than benign. An 8-year-girl was admitted with a one year history of rapidly increasing swelling and pain over the right lateral third of the clavicle. The plain radiograph showed a radiolucent lesion in the clavicle. CT scan showed cystic lesion arising from right clavicle with evidence of air-fluid level suggestive of Osteoclastoma. There was no periosteal reaction or soft-tissue component. Histopathologically was used to confirm the diagnosis. A wide excision of the mass, including 2.5 cm of healthy tissue of the clavicle was performed. The presence of an expansile lytic lesion of the clavicle should be taken seriously and complete radiological and histopathological investigation should be done and giant cell tumor of the bone should be kept in mind despite its rarity.
