Abstract

The giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is a benign histiocytic proliferation of the articular, tendinous and peritendinous synovial tissue that has rarely been reported in the dermatologic literature. Its histopatholgic appearance is characterized by the presence of multinucleated giant cells, histiocyte-like cells, fibroblast-like cells, foamy cells, and hemosiderin. It usually occurs on the fingers, hands and wrists. We describe a case of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath developing on the toe.
