ABSTRACT
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) of the tendon sheaths are benign soft tissue tumors that recur frequently. They occur most often in the hand where they represent the second most common soft tissue tumor after synovial cysts. We report a case of TCG with rare localization in the third finger of the hand in a 45-year-old patient, who presented with a painful mass in his third finger that had been evolving for about two years, and study its clinical, radiological, therapeutic and prognostic features.
