Aims Intra-articular 90Yttrium (90Y) is an adjunct to surgical treatment by synovectomy for patients with diffuse-type tenosynovial giant-cell tumour (dtTGCT) of the knee, with variable success rates. Clinical information is, however, sparse and its value remains unclear. We investigated the long-term outcome of patients who underwent synovectomy with and without adjuvant treatment with 90Yttrium. Patients and Methods All patients with dtTGCT of the knee who underwent synovectomy between 1991 and 2014 were included in the study. Group A patients underwent synovectomy and an intra-articular injection of 90Yttrium between six and eight weeks after surgery. Group B patients underwent surgery alone. Results There were 34 patients in group A and 22 in group B. Recurrence of dtTGCT was identified by MRI, which was undertaken in patients with further symptoms. At a mean follow-up of 7.3 years (2.5 to 25.4), there was residual disease in 15 patients in group A and 11 in group B (p < 0.363). The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score at final follow-up was 85% and 83%, respectively (p < 0.91). Conclusion There were no significant differences in outcome between patients treated surgically for dtTGCT of the knee with or without an adjuvant intra-articular injection of 90Yttrium. We were unable to provide conclusive evidence of any benefits derived from the adjuvant treatment. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:984–8.

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is a common benign lesion of the hand. They are also known as tenosynovial giant cell tumours. Magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging modality of choice and the current treatment is surgical excision of the lesion. This lesion is particularly known for its high recurrence rates. Here, we present a case of a recurrent tenosynovial giant cell tumour of the flexor tendon sheath of the index finger at the distal palmar crease. Diagnosis was confirmed by MRI and the lesion was excised. Histopathology revealed a localized type of tenosynovial giant cell tumour.
