A well defined lytic lesion is noted at the proximal end of tibia abutting the articular surface.
Case Discussion
Features in favor of diagnosis are firstly the lesion is abutting the articular surface and secondly, epiphyseal fusion has occurred. Giant cell tumors do not cross the articular surface.
