Giant cell tumours (GCTs) of the medial epicondyle of the humerus are rare. These are generally benign tumours but have the potential to be locally aggressive. They can invade the adjacent joint or the surrounding soft tissues or, in rare cases, cause distant metastasis. Locally aggressive GCTs are generally treated with wide resection, curettage, and bone grafting, followed by joint reconstructions. Here we present a case of a 49-year-old female with a history of swelling over the medial epicondyle of the humerus for six months. The patient was diagnosed with a locally aggressive GCT and was managed with wide excision of the tumour followed by sandwich bone grafting. A two-year follow-up of the patient shows no signs of recurrence. The patient is pain-free and has decent elbow function.
肱骨内上髁巨细胞瘤(GCTs)较为罕见。这些肿瘤通常为良性,但具有局部侵袭性。它们可侵犯相邻关节或周围软组织,或在极少数情况下导致远处转移。局部侵袭性GCTs一般采用广泛切除、刮除和骨移植治疗,随后进行关节重建。在此,我们报告一例49岁女性患者,其肱骨内上髁肿胀6个月。该患者被诊断为局部侵袭性GCT,并接受了肿瘤广泛切除及三明治式骨移植治疗。对该患者进行的两年随访显示无复发迹象。患者无痛,肘关节功能良好。
