The giant cell tumour in my middle finger left hand

[mp2195]

Hi Doctor,

I had the giant cell tumour in my middle finger left hand.

Just wondering to ask Doctor is it some kind of the cancer?

Should i do surgery imediately or can i wait for a year because of waiting list for the hospital?

After surgery it will come back again?

Wait for your answer.

Thanks alot.

Giant cell tumors require surgical removal.  They can grow and become more difficult for removal, so surgery should not be put off.  They are not malignant, but can come back if not complete removed.
