As a locally aggressive primary benign tumor, giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) presents a challenge to surgeons, as it often recurs regardless of surgical resection. This report describes a case of GCTB of the distal femur in a man, aged 39 years, treated with intralesional curettage through an arthroscopic approach. A 360° view of the tumor cavity can be achieved with the help of an arthroscope, which can help complete intralesional curettage and minimize possible larger approach-related complications. The result is favorable in terms of functional outcome and recurrence after 1-year follow-up.
