Abstract:

  Two rare cases of extra-articular diffuse variant giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath are presented, at the elbow of a 68-year-old female and the foot of a 56-year-old male. Both patients presented with a palpable masses and marginal excision was performed; histological sections confirmed the diagnosis of extra-articular giant cell tumor. No adjuvant therapy was administered. At the last follow-up, minimum 24 months after excision both patients were disease-free.

Giant 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...

A Case Report of Giant Cell Tumor of the Tendon Sheath after Treatment of Germ Cell Tumor of Testicles in a 7-year-old boy

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...
