Abstract
Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCTST) is a very rare neoplasm that occurs predominantly in in the fifth decade of life presented as a benign looking painless mass associated with a local recurrence rate of 12% and very rare metastasis.
We report a case of this rare entity presented with unusual presentations in a young boy which was diagnosed by histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry after complete excision raising the awareness of diagnosis and management of this unusual entity.
