Core Tip
Core Tip: This case demonstrates the highly aggressive biological behavior of Malignant giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (MGCTTS), which mostly appears in Computed tomography (CT) images as a large mass that grows around the joint with poorly defined borders. CT can show details of bone destruction surrounding the lesion caused by extensive invasion. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly shows the histological features of the tumor and its relationship to the surrounding tissue. There is a stubborn tendency for MGCTTS to relapse and a possibility of pulmonary metastasis. Postoperative follow-up, especially long-term follow-up for evaluating recurrence, is necessary. Meanwhile systemic examination should be undertaken to evaluate distant metastasis.
