Abstract

Giant cell fibroblastoma is a rare intermediate grade fibrohistiocytic tumour of childhood and even rarer in adults. It is seen in first decade of life. It is known for its recurrence, but its metastasis has never been reported. Giant cell fibroblastoma requires attention as it was previously misdiagnosed as sarcoma.  So histology  is mandatory and remains the gold standard for its diagnosis. We present a case of 21 year old female who presented with complains of painless lesion over the dorsal aspect of left hand.
