“…In Malaysia, Ng et al reported 34 (24%) out of 141 cases of primary bone tumours were GCT and 1(2.9%) out of the 34 GCT cases involved the end of the distal ulna 3 . These are generally locally aggressive tumours but few become malignant with pulmonary metastases 2 .…”

Giant-cell tumour (GCT) of bone, a primary yet locally aggressive benign tumour, commonly affects patients between the ages of 20 and 40 years, with the peak incidence occurring in the third decade. Women are affected slightly more than men. The distal end of the ulna is an extremely uncommon site for primary bone tumours in general and giant cell tumours in particular. Wide resection of the distal ulna is the recommended treatment for GCT in such locations. Radio-ulna convergence and dorsal displacement of the ulna stump are known complications following ulna resection proximal to the insertion of the pronator quadratus. This leads to reduction in grip power and forearm rotatory motion. Stabilization of the ulna stump with extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon after wide resection of the tumour has been described in the literature. We report a case of GCT of distal end of ulna treated with wide resection and stabilization with ECU tendon.
