“…In a retrospective 12-year study of 96 patients with GCTTSs, Lancigu et al found that recurrence after excision typically occurred within 36 months. (20) The Ki-67 proliferation index and mitotic activity were increased in patients with recurrence compared to those without recurrence. (21) As recurrence rates are high for common hand tumours, it is important to consider likely differential diagnoses, as they can help clinicians to better plan surgical treatment for patients.…”

RESULTS Overall, the most common tumours excised from the hand were ganglions (n = 66/116, 56.9%) and giant cell tumours of the tendon sheath (GCTTSs; n = 11/116, 9.5%). However, distal to the MCPJs, GCTTSs (n = 11/39, 28.2%) were more common than ganglions (n = 7/39, 17.9%). Most of the ganglions (n = 59/66, 89.4%) arose from between the CMCJs and RCJ.CONCLUSION Most hand tumours were benign. Ganglions were the most common tumours between the CMCJs and RCJ, while GCTTSs were the most common tumours distal to the MCPJs.

“…15 In 2012 Lancigu et al retrospectively studied 96 patients with an average follow up of 12 years and concluded that these tumors have a risk recurrence (8.3% in our series) that cannot be ignored. 16 As a consequence, the patient must be informed of the possibility of this risk, even in cases of complete excision and especially if the tumor extends into the joint or invades the tendons. Hamdi et al published a retrospective study of 27 proven GCTTS of the hand in the year 2011.…”

Background: Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is a benign soft tissue lesion most commonly found in the flexor aspect of hand and wrist. Recurrence of the tumor is common even after excision.Methods: It is an observational study where we present a review of 10 cases for which excision was done and were kept for regular follow up for minimum 6 months.Results: No recurrences noted in our series with minimum six months to maximum two years follow-up though review literature shows 10-40% recurrence rates.Conclusions: Complete excision with regular follow up care is indicated for this neoplasm due to its high propensity towards recurrence. The most important factor deciding recurrence pattern is incomplete excision and leaving behind satellite nodules.

“…GCTTS has also presented as localized nodular tenosynovitis, pigmented villonodular synovitis (8), and fibrous xanthoma (9). In a study of 207 GCTTS cases, the finger was the most common site (75.8%) (10), with a predominant involvement of the distal joint (5,9). For localized GCTTS, radiographic features typically display a soft tissue mass with or without bone changes, including bone pressure erosion, osseous invasion, cystic change, degenerative changes, periosteal reaction, and calcification (2,5,(11)(12)(13).…”

“…GCTTS and enchondroma are categorized as one of the most common benign soft tissue and bone tumors of the hand, respectively, with the finger being the most common site among all locations (4)(5)(6)(7). However, the coexistence of both these tumors in the finger, one in the phalangeal region, is exceedingly rare and may mimic a malignant tumor, which makes the diagnosis more challenging.…”

Coexistence of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath and enchondroma in the middle phalanx of the little finger mimicking a malignant tumor: A case report

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is a type of slow-growing benign soft tissue tumor that typically arises from the synovium of the tendon sheath. Enchondroma is a benign bone tumor comprising of mature hyaline cartilage that centrally develops within the tubular bone. While giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath or enchondroma are common benign soft tissue and bone tumors, respectively the simultaneous occurrence of these tumors in the same region of the hand is exceedingly rare, and it can mimic a malignant tumor, thereby making the diagnosis more challenging. Herein, we report an unusual imaging presentation of the coexistence of these tumors in the middle phalanx of the little finger, which to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported, and this initially present as a single intrinsic osseous lesion mimicking malignancy. The coexistence of these tumor types must be considered in the differential diagnosis of an intramedullary lytic lesion with a poor margin associated with a soft tissue mass of the fingers, and a meticulous preoperative magnetic resonance imaging investigation was required.
