Giant-cell tumor of bone is predominantly an affliction of adults and is
rarely found in skeletally immature patients. We are reporting six new
cases of histologically confirmed giant-cell tumor of bone in patients with
radiographically open epiphyseal plates. These patients account for 1.8 per
cent of the 326 giant-cell tumor of bone observed at the Bone Tumor Center
of the Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna, Italy.
