Giant Cell Tumors of the skull are rare and mostly occur in the middle cranial fossa. Radiological investigations serve as adjunct modalities; however, histopathological confirmation is mandatory. Ten to forty% of GCTs may be recurrent. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice, however, partial resection with adjuvant radiotherapy can serve as a secondary alternative. Recurrent cases require post-op radiotherapy. Here, we describe a case of recurrent giant cell tumor of sphenoid bone in a young male, who underwent surgical resection twice, after which he was advised adjuvant radiotherapy and denosumab. The patient did not take radiotherapy.
