Other Comments:
Giant cell tumour, besides being a common tumour, is a difficult tumour to handle with, considering the high rates of recurrence seen with routine modalities of treatment.... Aggressive GCT in the distal femur is not such a common occurrence as most of the distal femur GCTs are Stage I or II... I congratulate the authors on their efforts in reporting this rare tumour managed successfully and compilation of a comprehensive review of literature...
