Giant cell tumors are benign bone tumors that can grow aggressively and destroy bones near a joint. They usually occur near the knee, wrist, ankle or hip. Although benign (noncancerous), giant cell tumors of bone can grow quickly. They represent the second soft tissue tumor after the synovial cyst. The localized form is the most common (nodular tenosynovitis). Typically occurring after a child has reached skeletal maturity, giant cell tumors are more commonly diagnosed in girls. They are rarely seen in young children. We report a clinical case of a 21-year-old girl with no previous health history, who consulted us for a tumor in the right wrist accompanied by swelling, pain and great functional impotence. The aim of this work is to perform a total excision of the tumor and recover good functionality of the hand given that it is the dominant limb.
