چکیده
795 aspect of the IP joint and the proximal phalanx of the right thumb. Both masses were solid, well-defined, and slightly tender. Mass was measured to be 2 cm on right thumb, 1.5 cm on left plantar region, respectively. On plain radiography of the right thumb, the mass showed a well-defined soft-tissue shadow. There were neither periosteal reactions nor articular involvement (Fig. 1). On plain radiography of the lesion on the left plantar region, there were no notable findings. Surgery was performed under general anesthesia with tourniquet control, using magnifying loupe. Bruner’s incision to the volar aspect skin of the thumb was performed at the level of proximal phalanx. A meticulous dissection was performed with caution to achieve a complete resection of the tumor. Thus, the diaphysis of the right proximal phalanx was exposed. The mass had contact to neurovascular structures as well as both extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendons. The mass was removed along with the capsule. It was unavoidable, however, A Rare Case of Multifocal Giant Gell Tumor of the Tendon Sheath Involving Both the Hand and the Foot

Germ cell tumors account for 2 to 3% of all cancers in children. These tumors appear in the testicles as painless masses. The primary treatment of these tumors is the removal of testicles and chemotherapy. Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is slow-growing tumor and the primary treatment of this tumor is surgery and both surgery and radiotherapy in invasive type. This report presents...
متن کاملGiant Cell Tumor of Tendon Sheath
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 dia...

INTRODUCTION Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is most commonly found in the flexor aspect of hand and wrist and is rare in the foot and ankle. CASE REPORT A 49-year-old lady noticed a right lateral foot mass for 10 years. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested that the mass is originated from the peroneal tendons. The mass was excised and intra-operative findings showed that the tumor came...

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of tendon sheath is a localized form of tenosynovial GCT, which preferentially affects the joints of hands and feet. Chondroid metaplasia is a rare phenomenon in tenosynovial GCT either in localized or diffuse types. The current case investigates the cytological and histopathological features of chondroid GCT of tendon sheath in a 22-year-old female presenting with wrist ...
