Seven cases of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath were treated at our hospital during recent ten years from 1980 to 1989. The age of patients ranged from 15 to 51 years, with an average of 27.2 years. Of the seven patients, 2 were men and 5 were women.The tumor was located on thumb, index and little finger in 3 cases, middle and ring finger in 4 cases. The lesion occurred more commonly on the fingers of the right hand. The tumor ranged in size from 5 to 25mm was yellow-brown and lobulated. There was no specific history of trauma. The x-ray film showed pressure atrophy of the cortex of the phalanx in 1 case. The histological filings were tipical for giant cell tumor of tendon sheath with multinucleated giant cells and collagen fibers. There were 3 recurrences and no malignancies. Complete surgical excision is the best defense against high recurrence rates.
