Abstract
The opportunity of treating a giant cell tumour in a metacarpal of a six year old girl prompted the revision of the literature on this subject, verifying the extraordinary rarity of this kind of tumour in the bones of the hand and in children. The affected bone was excised and a metatarsal of the foot of the same girl transplanted in its place.Keywords
