Painful Clubbing Revealing a Bone Tumor Cell Giant

Mohamed El Amraoui, Rachid Frikh, Naoufal Hjira and Mohammed Boui

Giant cell bone tumors are relatively rare, with predominance in young adults and a predilection for epiphyses and metaphysis of long bones. The clinic is nonspecific but the radiological and histological characteristics allow the diagnostic confirmation. In view of their possible metastatic and particularly pulmonary power, these tumors are located on the malignant side of benign tumors. We report a case of digital clubbing having revealed a giant cell tumor.
