ABSTRACT
The clinical presentation and behaviour of giant cell tumours of bone vary. The progression of the disease and metastases are unpredictable, but the overall prognosis is good. We describe the natural history and different clinical presentations of two cases of giant cell tumour of bone where the patients had refused the initial treatment and presented several years later with the disease.
