After weeks of extensive testing it was finally realized to be an extremely rare Aggressive Giant Cell Granuloma Tumor. She was the first to be treated at AI Dupont for this type of Tumor.This is an aggressive disfiguring and damaging tumor that must be removed or it will continue to grow and consume her bones.
