Abstract

Giant cell reactions in the short tubular bones comprise mainly enchondromas, aneurysmal bone cysts and giant cell tumours. In both cases a history of trauma can be related. We therefore agree with Aegerter and Lorenzo that an intra-osseous haematoma due to minor trauma is likely to be of pathogenic significance.
