  • Title: Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath mimicking pyogenic granuloma in the index finger pulp: a case report.
    Author: Jerome JT, Venkatesan K, G A, Rani U, Sridhar R.
    Journal: Hand Surg; 2012; 17(1):125-7. PubMed ID: 22351549.
    Abstract:
    We report a 75-year-old man who presented with a painless friable mass in the index finger pulp mimicking pyogenic granuloma. Complete excision of the mass was done. The radiological and the histopathological findings suggested giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath. The patient had no recurrence at the end of a two-year follow-up. This unusual clinical presentation of the giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath was our study base and adds up to its variant presentation in the literature.
