Abstract
Giant cell tumours of bones are uncommon and are usually found in the epiphyses of
long bones. They are rare in flat bones (<10%). The tumour has to our knowledge never
been described in the hyoid bone, although 18 cases have been reported in the cartilagenous
laryngeal skeleton. We report a giant cell tumour of the hyoid bone in a 45-year-old
man, which we excised along with the left half of the hyoid bone. It recurred locally
one year later and was cured by excision and split course radiotherapy. The patient
is disease-free after 30 months of follow-up.
