The giant cell tumor of the tendon pod is a benign neoplasia that can be present in any bone or tendon pod. Its etiology is unknown. Nevertheless, it is related to a chronic inflammatory process. It usually occurs in women between the third and fifth decade as a palpable and painless mass and slow growth, although it can be deformed and lead to limb loss.
In this report, we present the case of an 11-year-old male patient, which began on June 21, 2020, with a blunt trauma. An ultrasound was performed, reporting compatible data with synovial sarcoma. Magnetic resonance was requested, with mass evidence in soft tissues in central and planting portions. A surgical procedure with a split and biopsy of the mass was carried out. The specimen was sent to the Pathology Department, leading to a diagnosis of a giant cell tumor of the tendon pod.
The giant cell tumor of the tendon pod is rare. However, in some cases, it is crucial to consider it as a differential diagnosis. The surgical management of this entity has proven to reduce recurrence rates.
腱鞘巨细胞瘤是一种可出现在任何骨骼或腱鞘的良性肿瘤。其病因不明。然而，它与慢性炎症过程有关。它通常发生在30至50岁的女性中，表现为可触及的无痛肿块且生长缓慢，尽管它可能会变形并导致肢体缺失。
在本报告中，我们呈现了一名11岁男性患者的病例，该病例始于2020年6月21日，因钝器外伤所致。进行了超声检查，报告的数据与滑膜肉瘤相符。随后进行了磁共振检查，发现中央和种植部位的软组织中有肿块迹象。对肿块进行了切开活检的手术操作。标本被送往病理科，最终诊断为腱鞘巨细胞瘤。
腱鞘巨细胞瘤较为罕见。然而，在某些情况下，将其作为鉴别诊断至关重要。已证明对该实体进行手术治疗可降低复发率。
