| Abstract: | ![]()
The giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) or nodular tenosynovitis arises as discrete solitary nodule in the tendon sheath near joints of toes and fingers. Multifocal giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is a rare entity, of which the etiology is not yet fully understood and it is different from diffuse type of GCTTS. Diffuse type of GCTTS occurs around large joints having a main mass from which a small satellite nodule may arise. Multifocal GCTTS along a single tendon is a more rare entity. Herein, we describe a case of multifocal GCTTS along the tendon sheath of flexor digitorum profundus tendon of index finger. The patient was managed by surgical excision of the tumor swellings with no recurrence at two years follow up. |
