Abstract
Fibroma of the tendon sheath most often presents around small joints and involves the tendon and tendon sheaths of the fingers, hands, and wrist. In rare instances, it presents as an intra-articular mass. It has never been described in the hip joint. In the current case presentation, this benign tumor was found to be the source of a patient's atypical severe hip pain. Arthroscopic resection of this tumor alleviated the patient's pain.
Highlights
Fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS) is a benign fibroblastic neoplasm that most often presents as a circumscribed nodular mass around small joints and involves the tendon and tendon sheaths of the fingers, hands, and wrist [1]
FTS is defined as a benign fibroblastic nodular neoplasm that arises from the synovium of a tendon sheath
It has been suggested that FTS represents a sclerosing end stage of nodular tenosynovitis possibly associated with chromosome 2q abnormalities [7]
Summary
Fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS) is a benign fibroblastic neoplasm that most often presents as a circumscribed nodular mass around small joints and involves the tendon and tendon sheaths of the fingers, hands, and wrist [1]. In rare instances, it presents as an intra-articular mass that may have a multinodular growth pattern [2]. In the current case presentation, this benign tumor was found to be the source of severe hip pain. Arthroscopic resection of this tumor alleviated the pain symptoms
