  ABSTRACT: Giant cell tumor of the wrist is a rare, benign and usually symptomatic condition. The discovery is sometimes made following a medical imaging examination or a painful symptomatology or more often a visible or palpable swelling with or without vascular and/or nerve compression. At an advanced stage, the X-ray is of paramount importance. The well codified complete surgical resection is part of the therapeutic arsenal. We present a clinical case report of a young woman with a giant cell tumor localized in the wrist in N’Djamena, Chad. This case concerns a 25-year-old patient who presented in July 2020 of a painful swelling lateral to her left wrist bone and whose X-ray radiography showed lysis of the cortical bone in the lower third of the ulna. After the operative resection of the tumor mass, the pathological examination of the operative specimen revealed the diagnosis of a giant cell tumor. A giant cell tumor is a benign condition, with a few symptoms and the location at the ulna is exceptional. Complete surgical resection is a viable treatment option.
