Abstract
Metachronous multicentric giant cell tumors of bone are rare. The case of a 47-year-old woman who had a giant cell tumor of the ilium develop 24 years after resection of a giant cell tumor of the proximal tibia is reported. The initial and current surgical approaches for this patient are described. A literature review is presented to show that this patient had the longest disease-free interval documented for a patient with metachronous multicentric giant cell tumors.
