Abstract
The authors report a typical case of tenosynovial giant cell tumor of the right
middle finger of a 31-year-old man. Histologically, this tumor is characterized
by a discrete proliferation of rounded synovial-like cells accompanied by a
variable number of multinucleated giant cells, inflammatory cells, and xanthoma
cells. Clinicopathologically, this tumor is a benign lesion that nonetheless
possesses a capacity for local recurrence. Local excision with a small cuff of
normal tissue is the treatment of choice in this tumor.
