Abstract
The ischium represents one of the rarest sites of giant cell tumor of bone. Two additional cases are presented here. The unusual site, aggressive appearance and occurance in older individuals are suggestive of other primary and secondary malignancies. Characteristic features of giant cell tumor and current treatment options are reviewed.
