Abstract
Multicentric giant cell tumor of the foot is rare. Multicentric giant cell tumor of the tarsal bones in an immature skeleton is unheard of. We report a case of synchronous multicentric giant cell tumor involving the talus and calcaneum in a 14-year-old boy with open epiphyseal plate for its rarity and successful treatment by curettage and synthetic bone graft.
