| Abstract: | A case of distant metastases of a giant cell tumor of the radius is presented. The tumor within the radius was excised, followed by arthrodesis of the wrist and bone grafting with tibia. At the time she came to us, the patient presented distal dissemination, so we performed curettage of each one of the multiple metastases of soft tissues of the hand. After 9 months, a local recurrence in the radius was resected, and reconstruction was done with a vascularized graft of fibula. Later treatment consisted of intraarterial chemotherapy. The patient is in satisfactory condition 1 year after surgery. |
