“…Despite the high recurrence rate reported in the literature (1,9) , in up to 45% of the cases (10) , there was no recurrence within the first year of postoperative follow-up in the case of this patient. Tumor recurrence is generally more frequent when bone invasion occurs (8,11) .…”

“…Marginal excision is the recommended treatment, although the reported risk of recurrence is from 0 to 44 percent (15,16). High recurrence rates are associated with poor encapsulation, satellite lesions, concurrent degenerative joint disease, intraosseous involvement, distal locations or involvement of the adjacent joint/tendon (16,17).…”

“…The hand is the third most common site, involving 15% of whole body hemangiomas (18). These neoplasms arise during the first weeks of life, experience a period of growth followed by involution, and typically regress over the first 7 years of life (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)20).

Objective: knowledge concerning treatment and care of hand lesions is often based on small case series, case reports and a few large general case series. The aim of this study is to present our experience with hand tumors' and tumor-like lesions' incidence, age range and localizations. Results: Three hundred sixty one out of 402 cases (89.8%) were soft tissue tumors and 41 cases (10.2%) were osseous tumors of the hand. A total of 10 malignant tumors (2.5%) were encountered in the hand. The average age of the patients was 41.9 years (ranged from 1 to 83 years). Among 361 soft tissue tumors, only 6 cases (1.6%) were malignant and they were squamous cell tumors (n=5) and synovial sarcoma (n=1). The most common soft tissue pathology was ganglion cyst (n=125). The most common bone tumor was enchondroma, diagnosed in 26 patients (6.4% of all patients). Primary malignant bone tumors were extremely rare in the hand; one osteosarcoma and one chondrosarcoma were reported. Metastatic tumors to the hand were seen in two patients; and they were lung carcinoma and chondrosarcoma metastasis. Conclusion:Up-date knowledge and a thorough understanding of the nature and demographic characteristics of the tumorous conditions of the hand are crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

“…Current studies are limited to small retrospective series with a varying range (44-74%) of results for location (volar versus dorsal side) (7,(10)(11)(12)(13). A recent systematic review by Fotiadis et al did not look into volar versus dorsal location of GCTTS on digits (2).…”

IntroductionG iant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) and ganglion cyst are the most common benign tumors of the hand (1, 2). In general GCTTS can present as a solitary subcutaneous nodule of the hand, but it can also occur in other parts of the body such as the spine, ankle, knee and feet (3, 4). However, with an approximate incidence of 1/50,000 per population it remains an uncommon condition (5). The incidence of GCTTS is higher in women than in men and mostly seen in the third to fifth decade (3, 6).The results of previous research are inconsistent regarding whether GCTTS is more often volar or dorsal in the hand, with a tendency for it to occur more often on the volar aspect of the hand (7-10). The occurrence of a volarsided GCTTS has been reported to range between 44 and 76% (7-11). The purpose of this study was to examine a large series of GCTTS in the hand to further assess the relative frequency of dorsal and volar GCTTS. We hypothesized that GCTTS are equally common on the dorsal and volar aspects of the hand. In addition, we hypothesized that there are no factors (i.e., demographic, clinical and pathological) associated with the location (volar versus dorsal side) and largest measured diameter of a GCTTS. Materials and MethodsUnder an IRB approved protocol 278 patients that had operative treatment of a GCTTS between January 2002 and November 2012 were identified using a database of pathology reports. The study was performed in a single tertiary care hospital and the procedures were performed by four experienced hand surgeons. Informed consent was waived for this medical record study. The medical records of all patients aged 18 years or older with a pathologically confirmed GCTTS of the finger or hand were reviewed retrospectively. Pregnant women (IRB mandated) and patients with a recurrence of a GCTTS already surgically treated in our center were excluded. We recorded sex, age, side, dorsal or volar location, finger or hand location and largest measured diameter of the GCTTS. The diameter was obtained from the pathology report. Giant Cell Tumor of Tendon SheathAbstract Background: Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is often thought of as a volar finger mass. We hypothesized that GCTTS are equally common on the dorsal and volar aspects of the hand. In addition, we hypothesized that there are no factors associated with the location (volar versus dorsal) and largest measured dimension of a GCTTS.
