Giant cell tumour of the sphenoid bone – Lefort 2 approach for surgery

Abstract

Giant cell tumour is one of the rare tumors of the sphenoid bone .The tumour usually has delayed presentation due to late onset of symptoms .The excision is relatively difficult due to narrow corridors available for surgery. We have described here our experience with use of Le Fort 2 osteotomy in removal of the tumour .Despite having adequate corridor, we could not achieve total excision and had to administer adjuvant therapy for control of disease.
