Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a benign, proliferative lesion of the synovium of the joint, the bursa, and the tendon sheath. We report a case of intra-articular, localized GCTTS arising from the patellar tendon, which is a rare cause of anterior knee pain. The diagnosis may be delayed due to non-specific symptoms and normal plain radiographic findings. Magnetic resonance imag...

OBJECTIVE Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is a rare cause of ulnar tunnel syndrome. We present a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with decreased sensation and weakness of grip of the right hand. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated the presence of a mass in the hypothenar eminence and showed that the mass was associated with the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon and displacing the ulnar ne...

This article reviews a spectrum of benign soft tissue tumors found in adults. Rather than presenting a complete review, the focus of this article is on benign tumors for which the diagnosis may be confidently made or strongly suggested on the basis of imaging. Diagnoses presented include nodular fasciitis, superficial and deep fibromatosis, elastofibroma, lipomatous lesions, giant cell tumor of...

Introduction Giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is part of the group of synovial tumors that can affect joints, bursas, and tendon sheaths. It is rare for GCTTS to involve the spine. When present, it is more common in the lower cervical spine. In the literature, there are only four cases described in the upper cervical spine. In this report, we describe a rare case of GCTTS in the up...

The “case study in diagnostic imaging”, reported by Peh et al illustrates nicely a giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath as a slowly progressing, mildly tender mass of the wrist. Here we report another case of giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath, which had an unusual disease onset. A 33 year old man presented with acute swelling and severe pain of the palmar side of the right hand. He had s...

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...

Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath is also termed as tenosynovial giant tumour. It relatively a rare comprising only about 1.6% all soft tissue tumours. foot and ankle much less reported compared to hand knee. However tumor should be considered differential diagnosis tumours ankle.We here present case extensor tendons heath in young female which presented with chief complaint painless swell...

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a common condition usually encountered in middle aged men, seen on thumb, index, fingers. These benign tumors are known to reoccur. Re-occurrence can be attributed poor surgical technique, excision toto considered difficult given close proximity digital nerves, blood vessels, tendons tumor. A magnifying loop used these cases identify and resect s...
