Abstract

Giant-cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) are relatively common benign tumors that arise in close proximity to joints and tendons. Malignant GCT-TS are extremely rare. Surgery with wide resection remains the cornerstone for treating malignant giant-cell tumors of the tendon sheath especially in large tumor cases.
