Subperiosteal giant-cell reparative granuloma.

We present a case of subperiosteal giant-cell reparative granuloma followed over six years showing the complete evolution from the early phase of subperiosteal haematoma to the end stage of an ossified haematoma. Such lesions, although they are histologically similar to true giant-cell tumours, can be distinguished by the patients' age, their location on the diaphysis, and by their radiological and histological features.
