The authors describe a case of giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) of the distal phalanx of the thumb. After differential diagnosis involving other lytic lesions of the phalanges was made, surgical treatment was planned. The authors emphasize the importance of suitable treatment of GCRG in order to avoid the danger of recurrence and the risk of loss of the phalanx.
