Tendon sheath fibromas are rare, benign soft tissue tumors that are predominantly found in the fingers, hands, and wrists of young adult men. This article describes a tendon sheath fibroma that developed in the thigh of a 70-year-old man, the only known tendon sheath fibroma to form in this location. Similar to tendon sheath fibromas that develop elsewhere, our patient's lesion presented as a painless, slow-growing soft tissue nodule. Physical examination revealed a firm, nontender mass with no other associated signs or symptoms. Although the imaging appearance of tendon sheath fibromas varies, our patient's lesion appeared dark on T1- and bright on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. It was well marginated and enhanced with contrast.Histologically, tendon sheath fibromas are composed of dense fibrocollagenous stromas with scattered spindle-shaped fibroblasts and narrow slit-like vascular spaces. Most tendon sheath fibromas can be successfully removed by marginal excision, although 24% of lesions recur. No lesions have metastasized. Our patient's tendon sheath fibroma was removed by marginal excision, and the patient remained disease free 35 months postoperatively. Despite its rarity, tendon sheath fibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a thigh mass on physical examination or imaging, especially if it is painless, nontender, benign appearing, and present in men.

“…In conclusion, we can affirm that this case is of particular interest due to the localization, with no clear continuity with any tendon or tendon sheath. To our knowledge, only seven cases of localization within a joint capsule have been described: four in the knee (two in the posterior joint capsule [ 8 , 18 ], one arising from a posterior cruciate ligament [ 13 ], and one in the suprapatellar pouch [ 14 ]), one in the radioulnar joint [ 12 ], one in the temporomandibular joint [ 10 ], and one in the shoulder joint; rather unusually, this last one presented as multiple intraarticular loose bodies [ 7 ]. To our knowledge, ours is the first reported case of this tumor occurring in the ankle joint.…”

“…It has been reported mainly in finger and hand tendons as a benign, slowly growing nodule that arises from a synovial sheath [ 2 , 6 , 15 , 16 , 18 ]. Involvement as a mass adjoining the synovial membrane of a joint capsule is extremely rare, and to our knowledge only seven cases have been described, mainly in the knee joint (four cases) [ 7 , 8 , 10 , 12 – 14 , 18 ]. We wish to emphasize its unusual location in the case described here—in the ankle—a location for a fibroma of the tendon sheath that has never been described in the English literature before.…”

We report a very rare case of fibroma of the tendon sheath arising from the anteromedial ankle joint capsule, with no apparent connection to any tendon in the area, found in a 58-year-old patient complaining of progressive local swelling. This uncommon tumor has its usual localization in tendon sheaths, is extremely rare in joint capsules, and has never been described in this location previously. MRI showed nonuniform low signal intensity in T1-and T2-weighted images and high intensity in STIR images. The mass was completely excised by open surgery. Histopathological analysis later confirmed the diagnosis of a fibroma of the tendon sheath.

“… 6 A further two cases have been reported. 7,8 It should be stressed that fibroma of the tendon sheath can arise from synovial tissue. In our case report, the existence of the small and fibrous nodules within the synovial tissue, which showed identical histological features to those of the main tumor, suggests a similarity between the current tumor and synovial chondromatosis.…”

“… 4,5 However, in the literature, only three cases of fibroma of the tendon sheath arising from synovial joint have been reported. 6–8 We present, in this report, a case with a fibroma of the tendon sheath arising from the radio‐ulnar joint.…”

Fibroma of tendon sheath arising from the radio‐ulnar joint

A report of a 65-year-old male with a tumor arising from synovial tissue of the radio-ulnar joint. On magnetic resonance imaging, the tumor was demonstrated as a heterogeneous and lobulated mass with a low signal intensity both in T1- and T2-weighted images. Histological findings of the tumor were identical to those of fibroma of the tendon sheath. In the peripheral villous synovial tissue, several small and fibrous nodules were observed, and their histological features were identical to those of the main tumor. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed diffuse and intense reactivity to vimentin, muscle actin and S-100. These results indicated that the tumor might be a fibromatous analog of synovial chondromatosis.
