Abstract

Giant cell tumors of tendon sheath (GCT-TS) also characterized as giant cell tumors of low malignant potential (GCT-TSLMP) are extremely rare entities found most frequently in the extremities. It appears as an enlarging painless mass and has a synovial origin. GCT-TS is approximately 1.6% of all soft tissue tumors.1 The GCT-TS of the tibialis anterior tendon is very rare, and recurrence has not been reported in the literature. The authors present a rare case of a 71-year-old male with a GCT-TS within the Anterior Tibialis tendon. The soft tissue mass is characterized by a mix of giant cell reaction & gouty tophus occurring within the Tibialis Anterior Tendon
