Abstract

Since 2020, Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is classified as an intermediate malignant tumor and locally aggressive in behavior however there is less chance of metastatic propensity which represents approximately 5% of primary bone tumors. It is usually occurs in long bone and multifocal synchronous GCTB is very rare accounting for less than one percent. We herein present a case report of 18 year male complaining mild right knee pain for 3 months. Patient underwent for Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) .The examination results revealed that patient had multifocal synchronous GCTB in bilateral distal femur, bilateral proximal tibia, bilateral ilium bone (Hip bone) and bilateral ala of sacrum. Multifocal synchronous GCTBs are very rare and this tumor's exceptional positions in the site seen in our case report have rarely been reported. The correct diagnosis relies on correlation of clinical and radiological findings with confirmation of the diagnosis by histopathologic examination.
