Abstract Background: Giant cell lesion of small bones (GCLSB), also known as giant cell reparative granuloma, is a rare tumor-like condition occurring in the small bones of the hands and feet. GCLSB lacks specific clinical, radiological, and histological manifestations. There are no standardized protocols for treatment. Case presentation: Here, we report a 16-year-old male with recurrent GCLSB in the proximal phalanx of the left thumb. The lesion was successfully resected with bone grafting. Conclusions: We summarized the characteristics of 33 reported cases of GCLSB from 1983 to date, including gender, age, lesion sites, recurrence, and treatment. We conclude that resection and reconstruction with curettage is the treatment of choice.

A case is presented of a male patient affected by a giant cell lesion of the jaw, which had two recurrences in 8 years. Histologically, the lesion appeared to be composed of giant cells and mononuclear cells. Histoenzymatic study demonstrated acid phosphatase in both types of cells, and beta-glucuronidase in giant cells only. In some nuclei of giant cells, ultrastructural investigation showed filaments or microtubular structures of variable length, with irregular transverse periodicity, in addition to other expected findings. These characteristic features, found in giant cells of some giant cell tumors of the long bones, have never before been reported in a giant cell lesion of the jaw. The results are considered in order to assess the diagnosis, and the pathologic profiles of giant cell reparative granuloma, and of giant cell tumor are critically discussed.

We treated a 72-year-old woman by excision of the right thumb sesamoid which contained a giant-cell lesion. Nine years later she had normal function and no evidence of other lesions, recurrence or metastasis. We recommend that the diagnosis of giant-cell reparative granuloma and giant-cell tumour be considered when a bony mass in a sesamoid bone is discovered. Surgical excision at least in our one case was definitive treatment.
