Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) commonly presents as a slow-growing and painless soft-tissue lesion in the hand. It has a propensity to mimick other benign and malignant lesions of the hand including lipoma, haemangioma, myxoid cyst, synovial sarcoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, fibroma and osteosarcoma. GCTTS has a unique histopathological appearance that aids in definitive diagnosis. Although bony invasion and local aggressive characteristics have only been reported rarely, the treatment of choice is local excision. The following case illustrates a fairly typical presentation of GCTTS with certain atypical features.

Giant-cell tumour of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a soft tissue tumour that may invade bone, causing an intrinsic osseous lesion or instability on radiographs. A case with scaphoid instability caused by a histologically-confirmed neighbouring GCTTS has rarely been described in the literature. No definite and radical method is available for the treatment of GCTTS. This report describes an unusual case of a 22-year-old woman who previously experienced a GCTTS in her right elbow, which was removed 10 years earlier. Currently, she presented with an enlarged painless right wrist mass with focal swelling. The mass has been present for 5 years. During the previous 6 months, she felt something pop and experienced pain with limited motion in her right wrist. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-circumscribed soft tissue mass. Under general anaesthesia, complete surgical resection of the mass was undertaken. Histopathological examination revealed that the mass was a GCTTS. Less invasive leverage reduction with external fixator support and iliac crest bone autologous graft for treatment of carpal instability were performed. Radical resection combined with external fixator support and bone grafting can provide a new option for the treatment of carpal instability.

Giant cell tumour arises from the synovium of tendon sheath, joints, or bursae,mostly affects adults between 30 and 50 years of age, and is slightly more common in females.Giant cell tumour of tendon sheath of tendoachilles is uncommon tumour. Usually it has a high rate of recurrence. In this article we report the case of a 32 year old female with Giant cell tumour of tendoachilles treated by excision with no reccurence after 7 months of follow up

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.

: Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) typically occurs in young adults from 20-40 years old. Although the majority of lesions are located in the epi-metaphyses of the long bones, approximately one third of tumours is located in the axial skeleton, of which only 4% in the sacrum. Sacral tumours tend to be large at the time of presentation, and they present with aggressive features such as marked cortical destruction and an associated soft tissue component. The 2020 World Health Organisation classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumours describes GCTB as neoplasm which is locally aggressive and rarely metastasizing. The tumour contains three different cell types: neoplastic mononuclear stromal cells, macrophages and osteoclast-like giant cells. Two tumour subtypes were defined: conventional GCTB and malignant GCTB. Only 1-4% of GCTB is malignant. In this review article, we will discuss imaging findings at the time of diagnosis to guide the musculoskeletal radiologist in reporting these tumours. In addition, imaging for response evaluation after various treatment options will be addressed, such as surgery, radiotherapy, embolization and denosumab. Specific findings will be presented per imaging modality and illustrated by cases from our tertiary sarcoma referral center. Common postoperative and post radiotherapy findings in GCTB of the sacrum on MRI will be discussed.
