Résumé
A 25-year-old pregnant woman reported suffering from an aggressive giant cell tumour of the distal humerus extending into the elbow joint. The successful management required a careful evaluation of the various treatment options due to her pregnancy. Surgical excision of the mass was performed. The residual bone defect was reconstructed with an elbow mega-prosthesis. The patient made a pain-free recovery with a good range of motion and delivered the baby at term with no complications.
