“…Although there was no significant find-ing in our study, this may indicate that the intraosseous involvement can be considered as an important predictive variable for recurrence of GCTTS. The true intraosseous involvement is rarely reported (20)(21)(22)(23). Uriburu and Levy found that the lesion recurred in two of 15 patients with bony involvement (23).…”

Background: Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is the most common benign tumor of the hand following the ganglion cyst. It is more prevalent in women in third through fifth decades of life. Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the rate of recurrence of GCTTS in an Iranian population. Patients and Methods: Medical records of 47 patients with GCTTS were reviewed. Data on demographic characteristics as well as clinical and intraoperative findings were collected. Plain X-rays, magnetic resonance, and ultrasonographic images were observed. Patients were asked about the recurrence of the GCTTS after mean interval of 4.9 ± 2.6 years. Results: Females were predominantly involved (70.2%). Patients aged 38.5 ± 16.2 years at the time of surgery. The middle finger was the most common site of the lesion (27.6%) followed by index finger (25.5%) and thumb (21.3%). The volume of the lesions averaged 3.9 ± 5.5 cm 3 . The GCTTS had invaded the skin (1 patient), bone (1 patient), tendon pulley (6 patients), tendon (4 patients), and digital nerve (2 patients). Osseous erosion was found in two patients. After exact excision, the tumor recurred in four patients (8.5%). None of the variables affected the risk of recurrence. Conclusions:The characteristics of our patients were greatly similar to the previous studies. Exact and complete excision of the lesion under magnification was the keystone of decreased rate of GCTTS recurrence.

Les auteurs rapportent une observation d'une tumeur à cellules géantes des gaines des tendons extenseurs des orteils et en étudient les caractéristiques cliniques ; radiologiques ; thérapeutiques et pronostiques à la lumière d'une revue de la littérature. Abstract:The authors report a case of a giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath of the toe. With a review of the literature on this subject they study the clinical and radiological signs, as well as the treatment and prognosis of this condition.

“…Bone lesions in PVNS are not rare [5,7,26,31]: the classical X-ray findings, apart from soft tissue swelling when a superficial joint is involved, are the bone cysts seen at some distance from the articular surface of the affected joint. They vary in appearance, being usually well-defined and uncalcified; there is no narrowing of the joint space except in the final stages of the disease, when necrosis and arthritic changes can be seen.…”

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) as reviewed in detail elsewhere most frequently involves the knee and finger synovial structures; shoulder involvement is rare: A search through the English literature yielded 18 publications describing 25 cases of PVNS affecting the shoulder joint. Analyzing these reports we found the clinical and radiological findings generally to be nonspecific, often mimicking a malignancy, as in the case presented here of a 16-year-old boy with painful swelling in the area of the left proximal humerus. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a suspected malignant soft tissue mass involving the shoulder capsule and measuring 7.5 x 6 x 4 cm. Preoperatively the patient could recall no trauma; however, postoperatively he did report a distortion trauma of the affected shoulder following a bicycle accident. Intraoperatively, two tumors were found infiltrating the axillary vessels and nerve and tendon structures originating in the capsule of the shoulder joint. Rapid sections of the tissue revealed no signs of malignancy; further pathohistological examination revealed localized PVNS. Preoperatively, the shoulder joint was not suspected as the primary site of origin of the tumor because the patient had no complaints or functional deficits of the shoulder. The clinical presentation of such a PVNS lesion over the proximal humerus is unusual and to date has only twice been described in the literature.
