Abstract:
Giant cell tumours rarely occur in the cranial region. We encountered a radiosensitive giant cell tumour of the sphenoid in a 12-year-old girl. After a two-stage operation, the residual tumour regrew rapidly. The adjuvant radiotherapy subsequent to additional surgery has suppressed the growth of the residual tumour for 5 years.
