Giant Cell Tumor of the Distal Phalanx of the Biphalangeal Fifth Toe: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract Giant cell tumor of the distal phalanx of a toe is rather unusual. We report an unusual case of giant cell tumor arising at the distal phalanx of the left biphalangeal fifth toe in a 13-year-old boy. This was treated successfully with curettage and packing with bone substitution.
