Abstract
Giant cell tumor is among the rare tumors of the bone. We present a case of metacarpal giant cell tumor with radiographic, computed tomographic (CT) a nd histologic findings, as well as grey scale and Doppler sonographic featu res. We also present the "doughnut"-shaped appearance on scintigraphy of th e lesion, which has not been shown on a metacarpal giant cell tumor. (C) 20 00 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
