چکیده
background: giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (gctts) is often thought of as a volar finger mass. we hypothesized that gctts are equally common on the dorsal and volar aspects of the hand. in addition, we hypothesized that there are no factors associated with the location (volar versus dorsal) and largest measured dimension of a gctts. methods: a total of 126 patients with a pathological diagnosis of a gctts of the hand or finger were reviewed. basic emographic and gctts specific information was obtained. bivariable analyses were used to assess predicting factors for location (volar or dorsal side) and largest measured diameter of a gctts. results: seventy-two tumors (57%) were on the volar side of the hand, 47 (37%) were dorsal, 6 (4.8%) were both dorsal and volar, and one was midaxial (0.79%). the most common site of a gctts was the index finger (30%). there were no factors significantly associated with the location (volar or dorsal, n=119) of the gctts. there were also no factors significantly associated with a larger diameter of a gctts. conclusions: a gctts was more frequently seen on the volar aspect of the hand. no significant factors associated with the location or an increased size of a gctts were found in this study.

متن کاملGiant Cell Tumor of Acl Tendon Sheath
INTRODUCTION The Giant Cells Tumor of Tendon Sheath (GCTTS) is a histiocyte-simile benign tumor associated to multinucleated giant cells, taking circumscribed or polygonal shapes(1), with sizes ranging from 0.5 to 5.5cm(2,3). Its etiology is not fully understood yet(4). It is more commonly found on hands and feet, and more rarely on ankles and knees(1,5). The GCTTS affects individuals at the ag...
متن کاملGiant cell tumor of tendon sheath: a multicentric presentation
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a relatively common soft tissue neoplasm arising from the tendon sheaths of upper and lower extremities. However, the incidence of GCTTS at multiple sites is not yet reported in literature which is extremely rare. Here we are reporting a case of a 21 year female presenting with slow growing, firm swellings on bilateral elbow and tendoachilis regi...
متن کاملMulticentric localized giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath
The authors report on a rare case of multicentric giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath in the right index finger of a 76-year-old woman. In the present case, three lesions simultaneously arose at different sites in the same finger. Magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative findings revealed no contiguity among the three lesions. A multicentric origin of the tumor is unusual. SICOT Online R...
