Abstract
Giant cell tumors of soft tissue (GCT-ST) are rare primary soft tissue tumor with low malignant potential, considered as the soft tissue counterpart of giant cell tumor of bone. We reported a rare case of soft tissue giant cell tumor of neck in a 46 years old male with painless swelling in left side of neck after a history of trauma 3 months back. Computed tomography suggested a small soft tissue mass and or post biopsy hemorrhage, but the diagnosis of giant cell tumor was confirmed after cytohistological examination. Wide local excision of the tumor was done.
