“…The peak incidence of this tumor tends to occur in the 3 rd –5 th decade of life in most studies, 7–9 with one study reporting peak incidence to be around the 5 th –6 th decade 2 of life (25% and 27%, respectively). Our patient, in contrast, is of a younger age at 28.…”

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign but locally aggressive neoplasm that can affect tendon sheath, bursae, or joint. The wrist joint however is uncommonly involved and here we present a case of chronic monoarticular joint pain and swelling in a healthcare professional that was later histologically verified to be PVNS of the radiocarpal joint. The patient had a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed prior to surgery which showed a locally invasive bony tumor of the scaphoid. He subsequently underwent a wrist arthroscopic evaluation and resection with bone grafting as the index surgery and made an uneventful postoperative recovery. This is a novel technique to address PVNS of the wrist as these cases are usually managed using open procedures which can lead to additional scarring and disrupt the blood supply of the joint capsule.

“…Research has indicated that GCTTS is mostly seen in the hand, specifically fingers. However, the ankle and foot are considered as the second most common location for this tumor (3,4). According to our review of the current English literature, only 7 cases of GCTTS located at Guyon's canal have been previously reported (5,6).…”

Introduction: Despite its low prevalence, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is considered as one of the most common benign tumors in the hand. GCTTS mostly affects tendon sheaths and finger joints; however, its presence in the wrist and Guyon canal is scarcely reported. Case Presentation: In this report, we describe the case of a 32-year-old female with signs and symptoms of ulnar tunnel syndrome in her right hand while the MRI illustrated a soft tissue mass in the Guyon canal. Excisional biopsy was performed, confirming the diagnosis of GCTTS. Conclusions: This report proposes the consideration of GCTTS as a differential diagnosis in patients suffering from ulnar tunnel syndrome. In addition, it could be concluded that an excisional biopsy might be considered as a therapeutic and diagnostic method in this disease.

Background: Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) is the second most common benign tumor of the hand. Even though it is a benign lesion there is still a high incidence of local recurrence (range, 7%–44%) according to data in published papers. In this study, the clinical and epidemiological features of 173 patients who underwent excision of localized TSGCT, the recurrence rates and possible reasons for recurrence were examined in the light of current literature. Methods: Medical records of 173 patients with TSGCT were reviewed. Data on demographic characteristics as well as clinical and intraoperative findings were collected. Patients were asked about the recurrence of the TSGCT and the QuickDASH scoring was applied at the final clinical evaluation after mean follow-up of 81 months. Results: Females were predominantly involved (73%). Patients aged mean 44 years at the time of surgery. There were 93 tumors in flexor zones and 80 tumors in extensor zones of the hand. Of the tumors with flexor zone localization, zone II was most predominantly involved with 46 tumors, and 18 of these were on the index finger. The extensor zones III and IV were mostly involved with 9 tumors each on the middle and ring fingers. A total of 12 recurrences (6.9 %) were determined over the mean follow-up period of 81 months. Conclusions: The characteristics of our patients identified were similar to the previous studies. Surgical excision provides good outcomes in the treatment of TSGCT especially when clear margins are obtained.
