Échec du traitement chirurgical d'une tumeur à  cellules géantes du capitatum et sa reprise : à  propos d'un cas

Giant Cell Tumors are rare tumors in the young adult and localisation in the hand is even more exceptional. In the absence of adjuvant treatment, the literature reports a strong potential for local recurrence of between 75 and 86%. These tumours also have a risk of sarcomatosis degeneration and pulmonary metastasis. The case report concerns a 24-year-old patient, with a Giant Cell Tumour of the capitate initially diagnosed on simple curettage, and we describe her treatment together with the treatment of a subsequent reccurrence. A literature review will also highlight the current knowledge of this disease.
