“…Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is also known as giant-cell synovioma and localized nodular tenosynovitis. GCTTS is most commonly attached to the tendons of the fingers, hands, and wrists, and affects both males and females between the ages of 20 and 50 ( 1 ). It is a common treatment to remove the tumor by the surgery, after which it has a high recurrence ( 2 ).…”

Artificial finger joint replacement due to a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath with bone destruction: A case report

et al. 2015

The current study presents the case of a 25-year-old male who developed tumor recurrence of the proximal phalange of the ring finger on the right hand 4 years after partial tumor resection surgery. An X-ray of the right hand showed that the distal bone of the proximal phalange on the ring finger was destroyed. An artificial finger joint replacement was performed using a silicone joint for this unusual tumor recurrence. The pathological findings were indicative of a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath. As a result of surgery, the patient's proximal interphalangeal point motion recovered to the pre-operative level. The pre-operative and post-operative disabilities of the arm, at shoulder and hand and total activity measurement values were 1.67 and 3.33, and 255 and 243°, respectively. Complications such as tumor recurrence, joint dislocation and the requirement for prosthetic training were not observed during the 5-year follow-up period.
