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.
