Abstract Summary

A 27-year-old man developed three separate bone tumors over 10 years—a rare case of metachronous multicentric giant cell tumor. Lesions appeared sequentially in his right femur and tibia. Treatment combined mega-prosthesis revision with denosumab therapy and curettage, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring and multimodal approaches in managing this exceptionally rare condition.
