Abstract
- Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are typically benign neoplasms of the joint, bursa, and tendon sheath. Usually, TGCT presents as a small localized tumor on the hand and wrist. The diffuse-type TGCT is more aggressive and mainly affects large joints such as knees, hips, ankles, and elbows. Diffuse-type TGCT of small joints is rare. To our knowledge, this is a very rare case of a huge diffuse-type TGCT on the wrist. We report a huge TGCT, which grew gradually over 10 years.
