چکیده
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 from the peroneus brevis tendon sheath. Histological study confirmed the diagnosis of giant cell tumor. CONCLUSION Giant cell tumor, although rare, should be one of the differential diagnoses of tendon sheath tumor of the foot and ankle.

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...

متن کاملLongitudinal split of the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendons with disruption of the superior peroneal retinaculum.
Longitudinal split and subluxation of the peroneus brevis tendon have been reported in surgery literature, but few publications report on longitudinal tears of the peroneus longus tendon. The most likely proposed mechanism is a mechanical one. This report discusses the ultrasonographic appearance of peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendon splits and the mechanism of injury.
