    El tumor de c茅lulas gigantes se presenta en cerca del 5% de todos los tumores 贸seos benignos en adultos; es un tumor que a pesar de su naturaleza benigna, la mayor铆a de las veces tiene un comportamiento agresivo, lo cual causa severa incapacidad y limitaci贸n funcional. Existen t茅cnicas descritas para manejo de este tipo de tumor en el radio distal, mediante resecci贸n, aplicaci贸n de aloinjerto, curetaje intralesional y aumentaci贸n con cemento. En este art铆culo reportamos el caso de una mujer con un tumor de c茅lulas gigantes del radio distal tratado mediante resecci贸n ampliada de la lesi贸n y reconstrucci贸n con un autoinjerto masivo de cresta iliaca. Se describe la t茅cnica y se reporta el resultado funcional.Reporte de caso182-186Paciente femeninoGiant cell tumors appear in approximately 5% of all benign bone tumors in adults; despite its benignity, it is usually aggressive, leading to severe functional disability and limitations. Techniques have been described for the management of this type of tumor in the radio distal using surgical resection, application of allograft, intralesional curettage and cement augmentation. In this article we report on the case of a female patient with a giant cell tumor in the radio distal treated with wide resection of the lesion and reconstruction with massive iliac crest bone autograft. The technique is described and a report is provided on the functional result
