case_images: The overlying skin was normal (Fig. 1).
case_images: Anteroposterior (a) and oblique (b), radiographs of the left hand, showing a large expansile lesion involving 3rd metacarpal with a characteristic soap bubble appearance.

case_images: GCT mass was exposed in total. GCT mass was excised with margins along with partial osteotomy of the MC bone, leaving behind about 1cm healthy base of MC bone, which appeared normal both intraoperatively and radiologically (Fig. 4).
case_images: (a) Reconstruction by 2.5 mm mini plate.(b) C-arm view showing the fibular strut graft fixed with 2.5 mm mini plate.

case_images: Reconstruction of the defect was done using non-vascularized contoured fibular strut graft taken from ipsilateral middle one-third of fibula, fixed with 2.5 mm mini reconstruction plate, along with reconstruction of the collateral ligaments of the MCP (Fig. 5).
case_images: H and E stain microscopic image showing. (a) x10, numerous osteoclastic giant cells dispersed throughout the entire stroma.(b) x40, the giant cells contain 20-100 nuclei and the nuclear morphology is similar to the nuclei seen in the stroma.
