  • Title: Giant cell tumors of tendon sheath. An electron microscopical study of 11 cases.
    Author: Carstens HB.
    Journal: Arch Pathol Lab Med; 1978 Feb; 102(2):99-103. PubMed ID: 203249.
    Abstract:
    Light and electron microscopy of 11 giant cell tumors of tendon sheath revealed a pleomorphic cell population in which the giant cells had similarities to osteoclasts, and the stromal cells had similarities to primitive mesenchymal cells, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and histiocytes. I suggest that giant cell tumors of tendon sheath are derived from mesenchymal cells with partial osseous differentiation.
