%X Giant cell tumors are benign yet locally aggressive neoplasms commonly observed in the distal radius, exhibiting higher recurrence rates compared to other tumor types. This study presents a case involving a 50-year-old farmer who presented with swelling at the distal end of his wrist. The patient underwent treatment involving intralesional curettage and supplementation with zoledronic acid, resulting in a significant reduction in the tumor's potential for recurrence. This approach aims to achieve an optimal balance between functional outcomes and disease management in the majority of cases. While this strategy proves effective in most instances, there may be scenarios where resection becomes imperative due to the severity of the disease, ensuring adequate disease clearance. In such circumstances, judicious decision-making coupled with an appropriate treatment plan is crucial to guarantee a satisfactory outcome, even in the face of challenges.
