A giant cell tumor is a rare tumor of mesenchymal origin, it is considered a benign tumor with locally aggressive characteristics and the ability to metastasize. This tumor typically arises in the epiphyseal regions of long bones, most often after the completion of bone growth. Localization at the distal end of the ulna is extremely rare and has therapeutic specificities. We present a case of a giant cell tumor of the distal end of the ulna treated surgically by en bloc resection of the tumor with a favorable postoperative course. Through a review of the literature, we aim to analyze the epidemiological, therapeutic, and prognostic particularities associated with this uncommon site.
