Giant cell tumor is a benign neoplasm constitutes 5% of primary bone tumors mostly in distal femur and proximal tibia followed by distal radius. Incidence of giant cell tumor at the neck of femur is 4%.It is an aggressive tumor and outcome is unpredictable. Usually, they are diagnosed on histopathology. Cytology is rarely used as a modality. Hence, Cyto morphological features of giant cell tumor of neck of femur have rarely been described and few are available in literature. Here we present single case of a 26 year old female who presented with pain and swelling at right hip since one year. On further investigation, patient was found to have pathological fracture. Intra operative squash was sent. Cyto smear revealed features of giant cell tumor which was later confirmed on histopathology.
