ABSTRACT
We report a case of giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath in a 36-year-old male, who presented an asymptomatic, firm, 1.0 × 0.8 × 0.4cm-sized nodule, involving the volar aspect of the distal phalanx of the right index finger about 1 year ago. Histopathologically, the enucleated lesion showed four lobules surrounded by thin connective tissue, each of which demonstrated the variable cellularity and the polymorphic cell population consisting of foam cells, spindle-shaped fibroblasts, histiocyte-like cells and multinucleated giant cells with heavy hemosiderin deposits near the periphery, in the collagenous stroma. He has done well with no recurrence during one year of follow-up since the operation.
