Abstract
- A 40-year old woman presented with a skin colored, multinodular, hard mass of 1.5x1.0cm and 1.0X1.0cm on the right 3rd toe for 20 years. Histopathologically, the tumor consisted of lobules of varied cellularity surrounded by dense collagen. Some areas were cellular and consisted of histiocyte-like cells, osteoclast-like giant cells, foam cells. Other areas were less cellular and consisted of spindle cells within hyalinized stroma, compatible with giant cell tumor of tendon sheath.
