## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of synovial giant cell tumor in the hip of a 34-year-old woman, including treatment and outcomes.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare intra-articular occurrence of synovial giant cell tumor in the hip with detailed clinical and pathological data.

## Key findings

- A 34-year-old female was diagnosed with intra-articular synovial giant cell tumor of the hip.
- Surgical intervention and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis and guided treatment.
- The patient's postoperative outcomes were documented for clinical reference.

## Abstract

Synovial giant cell tumor (SGCT) is a rare, locally aggressive neoplasm that primarily affects joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. While commonly associated with conditions involving bone, its occurrence within the hip joint is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case of a 34-year-old female with an intra-articular SGCT of the hip, detailing the surgical intervention, histopathological findings, and postoperative outcomes.
