Abstract

Giant cell tumour of soft tissue is a very rare tumour that is clinically and histologically similar to giant cell tumour of the bone. The WHO currently classifies the tumours in the category of Intermediate (rarely metastasizing tumours). GCTST is required to be distinguished from giant cell rich tumours of the bone and other soft tissue neoplasms with giant cells. This is a case of a 63-year-old male with a giant cell tumour of soft tissue of the thigh. This tumour was not suspected clinically and the diagnosis was made only after histopathological examination. The case is presented for its extreme rarity and the differential diagnosis with other giant cell rich tumours is discussed.

Key words: Soft tissue neoplasms, Giant cell tumour of Soft Tissue, Thigh.
