Abstract:
A giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a benign tumor that can occur in the joint synovium, bursae, or tendon sheath. It generally emerges in the tendons/synovium of the bones of the hand. It has unique characteristics, as noted in histopathological, clinical, and published literature. GCTTS has been reported across different age groups, with higher incidence observed in middle-aged adults. We present an unusual occurrence of GCTTS arising from the foot in a 54-year-old female who visited our medical facility with a history of swelling in her right foot for one year. Ultrasonography suggested a well-defined 5 x 4 cm lesion deep to the flexor tendon with possible intertarsal extension, which was managed surgically. This article represents a detailed understanding of GCTTS, emphasizing its benign yet locally aggressive nature and the complexities involved in its diagnosis and management.
摘要:
腱鞘巨细胞瘤(GCTTS)是一种良性肿瘤,可发生在关节滑膜中,法氏囊,或肌腱鞘。它通常出现在手部骨骼的肌腱/滑膜中。它具有独特的特点,如组织病理学所述,临床,出版文献。GCTTS已在不同年龄段进行了报道,在中年人中观察到较高的发病率。我们介绍了一名54岁女性的脚引起的GCTTS的异常发生,该女性访问了我们的医疗机构,其右脚肿胀已有一年的历史。超声检查提示屈肌腱有一个清晰的5×4厘米深的病变,可能存在骨间伸张,这是通过手术管理的。这篇文章代表了对GCTTS的详细了解,强调其良性但局部侵略性的性质以及其诊断和管理的复杂性。
