Abstract:Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) arise from the synovium of joint, bursa, and tendon sheath. Diffuse type often affects large joints, has higher recurrence rates, metastases, and malignant transformation potential compared to the localized type. The cytopathology of TGCT, a fibrohistiocytic neoplasm distinct from other giant cell–rich soft tissue tumors, is rarely reported. Here we describe cytomorphology of a case of TGCT that was initially diagnosed on fine‐needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) consisting … Show more
