Coexisting Benign Tumors in a Finger Are Rare but Not Impossible

Abstract

Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) and enchondroma are identified as the most prevalent benign soft tissue and bone tumors of the hand. While their individual presence is a common finding, their concurrent appearance in the same anatomic region is exceptionally rare, making simultaneous diagnosis more burdensome. We present a noteworthy case of GCTTS and enchondroma in the index finger of a young patient, along with the therapeutic strategy for correct diagnosis and effective treatment of such an occurrence.

Keywords: benign hand tumors; bone grafts; enchondroma; excisional biopsy; giant cell tumor.
