Abstract

Giant cell tumour of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is an uncommon entity which histopathologically resembles bony GCT. We report a case of giant cell tumour in a 45-year-old male patient who presented to the dermatology department with a gradually enlarging painless, smooth swelling over second toe of left foot. Histopathology revealed it to be giant cell tumour of soft tissue.
