GCT of bone is characteristically homogeneous pale brown, firm though friable associated with secondary haemorrhagic changes. The presence of Multinucleated Giant cell along with mononuclear spindle shaped stromal cells is pathognomic. On a radiograph, they are characterised by lytic tumor surrounding with a poorly defined zone of sclerosis often eroding the cortex. They may present as an eccentrically located expansile lesion. Recurrence of the tumor has been noticed and hence long-term follow-up is necessary.
