Extensor Hallucis Longus

In this study, we report the case of a patient with a lobulated expansile lesion of 16.6 cm in its largest diameter, who was referred as having a simple “synovial cyst” in the foot that actually was a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath along the extensor hallucis longus. Conducting a differential diagnosis of a “synovial cyst” in the foot and ankle, performing adequate surgical planning and using imaging tests, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, increases the probability of treatment success. Level of Evidence V; Therapeutic Studies; Expert Opinion.

Background: Both primary and metastatic tumors in the foot and ankle have been reported as rare. The purpose of this study was to describe 153 cases of foot and ankle tumors from a 20-year experience in a tertiary referral center specializing in orthopaedic oncology. It is the largest reported series of both bone and soft tissue tumors in the foot and ankle. Materials and Methods: Between 1986 and 2006, a retrospective chart review was performed of a total of 2,660 tumors surgically treated in all anatomic sites by a single surgeon at a musculoskeletal tumor referral center. Results: One hundred fifty-three patients (5.75%) with bone and/or soft tissue tumors of the foot and ankle were treated. There were 84 women and 69 men. The patients' ages ranged from 1 to 84, with a median age of 30 and mean of 33.2. The tissue types included 80 soft tissue and 73 bone tumors. Overall, 60 (39.2%) were malignant, and 93 (60.8%) were benign. The most common diagnosis was giant cell tumor. In addition, giant cell tumor was the most common bone tumor, while pigmented villonodular synovitis and giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath were the most common soft tissue tumors. Conclusion: The incidence of tumors of the foot and ankle in this series of a single surgeon over a 20-year practice was 5.75%. The results of this study reaffirm that awareness, correctly diagnosing, and appropriately treating or referring to an orthopaedic oncologist may help with an improved outcome for patients.

Peroneus Brevis

The foot and ankle are rare sites of involvement for giant cell tumor of tendon sheath. We present three rare cases of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath arising from the tendon sheaths of the flexor hallucis longus, peroneus brevis, and extensor hallucis brevis tendons, along with a literature review of such cases in the foot and ankle region. All of the patients were treated with surgical excision of the mass and were asymptomatic after minimum follow-up of 18 months. Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath involving the foot and ankle region is a rare clinical entity, and good results can be expected after surgical excision.

Malignant Soft Tissue Tumor

Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is a relatively rare non-malignant soft tissue tumor arising from the synovial cells and is associated with high recurrence rate. Many factors are considered for high recurrence including proximity to distal interphalangeal joints, presence of degenerative joint disease, pressure erosions in the radiograph and increased mitotic activity. But the most common cause for recurrence is incomplete surgical excision. However, it is the second most common tumor in hands after ganglion cysts. Here we present a case series comprising of 3 cases for whom marginal excision was done and they were kept on regular follow up without any recurrence.

Giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) is an uncommon occurrence for a foot and ankle surgeon. However, there is a need to recognize the symptoms of typical and atypical presentations of this pathology. These benign neoplasms are recognized clinically as a soft-tissue mass that is usually painless and palpable. The foot and ankle account for only 3% to 5% of all GCT-TS in the body, with most being located in the hand. Giant cell tumor in the tendon sheath occurring in the foot and ankle is usually encountered on the lateral ankle and dorsum of the foot, occupying the extensor tendons. Additionally, it is commonly misdiagnosed clinically. This case study illustrates how early use of magnetic resonance imaging decreased patient morbidity with early recognition and excision of GCT-TS.
