Abstract |
Diffuse giant cell tumours of the tendon sheaths are described in the literature as locally aggressive soft-tissue tumours. We report the case of a 56-year-old male with a history of multiple surgical procedures for a giant cell tumour of the fibular tendon sheath at the right ankle. The multiple recurrences prompted monitoring by positron-emission tomography, which showed lung tumours. Biopsies confirmed that the tumours were metastases from the giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath. In patients with recurrent and/or diffuse giant cell tumour, positron-emission tomography is an effective monitoring tool.
