A Case Series of Giant Cell Tumor of Tendon Sheath
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is a relatively rare non-malignant soft tissue tumor arising from the synovial cells and is associated with high recurrence rate. However it is the second most common tumor in hands after ganglion cysts. Few factors considered for recurrence are proximity of distal inter phalangeal joints, presence of degenerative joint disease, pressure erosions in radiograph, increased mitotic activity. But only consistent observation found is incomplete excision of the tumor which leads to recurrence.Here we present a case series comprising of 4 cases over a period of 2 years for whom marginal excision was done and they were kept on regular follow up without any recurrence.
