An 18-year-old male presented with a huge swelling in his left forearm, which was progressively increasing for four years with episodic pain in the outpatient department of Burdwan Medical College and Hospital, Burdwan. Investigations and clinical examinations were done that revealed the swelling to be a bony tumor. The patient was operated upon with en bloc removal of tumor and the site replaced by bone graft. Preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology showed the tumor to be a giant cell containing lesion of bone reported as osteoblastoma, a benign bone-forming tumor on histopathological evaluation. Postoperative follow-up of the patient showed good response with complete union of bone graft and full range of joint movement.
