is a gram-negative coccoid bacterium isolated from oral and upper respiratory sites with unclear pathogenic potential. We present an exceedingly rare case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis due to in a patient with a recent history of periodontal infection, successfully treated with intraperitoneal antibiotics. We propose that clinicians consider this organism as a potential cause of illness.

Recurrence of GCTB is well-documented, often attributed to microscopic tumour remnants remaining after intralesional curettage, with increased concern when infection occurs postoperatively. Studies suggest the limited effectiveness of adjuvants in preventing giant cell tumour recurrence, emphasizing the necessity of complete removal of malignant cells.
