Introduction: Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is an uncommon benign soft tissue tumor of the tendon sheath and synovium usually affecting the middle aged population.  Only 3-10 % of Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath occur on foot. Of them 5 - 10 % present with erosion of bone. We present a case of 30 years old male who had Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath on the foot involving the Flexor Hallucis Longs  and Extensor Hallucis Longus and eroding both the phalanges of the right great toe.

Pathology Reports

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor, also known as giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS), is a solitary, nodular, firm, benign, soft-tissue tumor that arises from the synovial lining of a tendon. The etiology is unknown. It is a rare soft-tissue tumor, with an overall incidence of one in 50,000 individuals, and usually affects people aged between 30 and 50 years. Magnetic resonance imaging tends to be the imaging modality of choice, used for surgical preparation. Widely accepted treatment involves local excision with or without radiotherapy. The author presents a case study involving a patient with an abnormally large, longstanding GCT-TS, diagnosed with clinical examination and imaging modalities, surgically excised, and further confirmed by pathology reports. Topic of discussion includes a review of GCT-TS.

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.

ABSTRACT Aim To present a case of recurrence of giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT TS) and its management. Background The GCT TS is a solitary benign soft tissue tumor of the limbs. It usually appears as an enlarging painless mass and has a synovial origin. The GCT TS is approximately 1.6% of all soft tissue tumors. The GCT TS of tibialis posterior is very rare, and recurrence has not been reported. Case report A 21-year-old male patient presents with complaint of swelling over right ankle since 3 years. Patient was operated for swelling 10 years back, and histological examination revealed GCT TS. Patient was asymptomatic for 3 years after operation and then developed swelling since last 3 years. On local examination, hypertrophic scar mark 1 × 4 cm was present at right medial malleolus. Ultrasonography of right medial malleolus and magnetic resonance imaging were done for further evaluation. Under spinal anesthesia and tourniquet control, medial approach was taken extending from 7 cm above the medial malleolus posterior to the tibia up to the talar head. Tissue was cleared and was sent for histopathology, which confirmed the diagnosis of GCT TS. Patient is on regular follow-up since then, and there has not been any recurrence. Conclusion Though rare, recurrence of GCT TS can occur, and it should be properly investigated and completely excised. Clinical significance Though recurrence of GCT TS is rarely reported, it needs to be dealt with a high index of suspicion and treated aggressively.

Introduction Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) are very common. More recently, a small number of case reports have identified the presence of multifocal GCTTS in the hand. These case reports have identified the presence of a maximum of two simultaneous lesions of a giant cell tumor affecting the same tendon sheath. We present an exceptionally rare case of simultaneous multiple localized GCTTS in which five lesions were identified on a single tendon simultaneously. This number of lesions on a single tendon has never been previously reported. Case: A 37-year-old tree surgeon initially complained of pain in the region of the base of the ring and little fingers. A month later, he developed multiple soft tissue swellings at these sites and a soft tissue mass in the center of the palm relating to the left ring finger. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan suggested multiple GCTTS. These masses were excised completely without MRI evidence of a recurrence. Multiple GCTTS should be a differential diagnosis of multiple soft tissue swellings in the hand with an MRI scan and complete excision being the appropriate imaging and treatment modality respectively.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a benign soft-tissue neoplasm that rarely occurs in the craniofacial region. We report a case of a 27-year-old male who presented to our unit in September 2017 with severe temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and progressive limitation opening his mouth. Based on clinical and imaging examinations, a well-defined soft tissue lesion was identified within the right infratemporal fossa, causing pressure on the TMJ and the surrounding structures. The lesion was surgically excised through trans-mandibular and endoscopic approaches. Histopathology diagnosis revealed a rare chondroid subset of TGCT. At 18 months follow-up, the patient showed resolution of the jaw pain, good functional and esthetic outcomes, and no evidence of recurrence.

We present a case of atypical giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath originating from the extensor hallucis longus tendon. The tumor contained multiple nodules and overlay the tendon 16 cm. Magnetic resonance imaging was the most useful preoperative investigation and showed the characteristic appearance of giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath, thus allowing local excision to be planned and executed. We discuss how local recurrence of this tumor could be prevented. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 96(4): 359–361, 2006)
