Cytology of Giant Cell Tumour of the Tendon Sheath - ADiagnostic Dilemma
نویسنده
چکیده
Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath (GCTTS), better known as localized nodular tenosynovitis, is a benign slow growing lesion most commonly presenting as a soft tissue nodule with a peak incidence in the third to fourth decade of life. It arises from the synovium of tendon sheath, bursa or joint. GCTTS is thought to arise from synovial lining cells, while the giant cells in GCTSS are structurally and functionally osteoclasts.Although, the histomorphological appearances are well established, only few studies describe the cytomorphology of the lesion.The present study describes the cytomorphological features with clinical and histopathological correlation of a 33 year old male patient who presented with a swelling over the plantar aspect of left 2 nd toe.

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...

Localized tendon sheath giant cell tumour (TSGCT-L), also known as Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a rare benign tumour occurring in the hand, knee, ankle, shoulder, fingers and rarely affect the temporomandibular joint. Clinically TSGCT-L may occur at any age, but usually diagnosed in patients between 30 years and 50 years of age and is more common in women. We conducted a literature ...

Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath is a soft tissue mass found occasionally in the hand. Its diagnosis can be readily made preoperatively if the characteristic MRI features are appreciated. This pictorial essay demonstrates and describes the imaging findings correlated with histopathological findings in a group of patients with proven giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath.
