Abstract:
Giant cell tumors of bone are benign tumors that tend to be locally aggressive and occasionally cause hematogenous metastasis to the lung, accounting for approximately 6% of all primary bone tumors. The occurrences in the ankle joint are approximately 4%, and cases in the distal fibula are particularly rare. This paper presents a case of a 21-year-old female patient with a giant cell tumor who treated with a bone endoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical method, and the structure of the bone was preserved.
