Aggressive giant cell tumour of talus with pulmonary metastasis-a rare presentation.

Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a primary benign neoplasm of bone. It is classically described as a locally invasive tumour that occurs close to the joint of a mature bone. It accounts for 5% of all skeletal tumours. It usually originates from long bones. Giant Cell Tumour of the small bones of the hand and foot are relatively uncommon. Giant Cell Tumour of talus is a rare occurrence. We report a rare presentation of giant cell tumour of the talus in a 62-year-old farmer treated by talectomy and tibiocalcaneal fusion, who later presented with features suggestive of recurrence and secondaries in chest within six months following surgical resection of the primary. Below knee amputation was performed to manage the recurrence. At two years follow-up the patient showed no further progression of pulmonary metastasis or local recurrence.
