Abstract

We report an extremely rare case of a giant cell tumour of the zygomatic bone in a 36-year-old female. The tumour was excised with healthy margins. The patient is asymptomatic without any evidence of recurrence 14 months postoperatively. To our knowledge, this is only the third reported case of this tumour occurring in the zygomatic bone in the medical literature.
