{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Giant cell tumors (GCTs) of distal ulna are extremely rare accounting for 0.45%-3.2% of all the cases of GCTs. These are locally aggressive and have a higher rate of recurrence of up to 40% with conservative modality of treatment. Proximity to carpus and diminished range of motion makes their treatment a challenge.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A 27-year-old male presented to us with swelling right distal ulna. X-ray and MRI were suggestive of GCT. The diagnosis was confirmed by core needle biopsy. The patient was managed by wide resection ulna with extensor carpi ulnaris tenodesis.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>GCT ulna although very rare in presentation is a possible diagnosis. Wide resection of ulna is a viable treatment option to achieve disease free status. Extensor carpi ulnaris tenodesis helps stabilization of ulnar stump.
