Giant cell tumor is osteolytic, mostly benign and locally aggressive tumor occurring in young adults at the epiphysis. Mostly long bones are involved [85–90%], most common site is around knee joint. 4% of tumors are found in iliac bone, spine and only 2% in hand. GCT of metatarsal is very rare with very few cases reported in literature. We report a case of GCT of first metatarsal in a 35 year old male. Patient was treated with excision of tumor, curettage and bone grafting.
