Résumé
The giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a benign nodular tumor that is found on the tendon sheath of hands and feet. It is the second most common tumor of the hand, next only to ganglion cysts. Several hypotheses were formulated about the etiological factors of these tumors, but still, there is not a common opinion on etiology, prognostic factors, and recurrence rate. We report a case of GCTTS in a young male where a lesion was identified in his left thumb. Although marginal excision is the treatment of choice, it is often difficult to perform due to the location and the strict adherence of the tumor to the tendon or neurovascular bundles. The primary issue with the treatment lies in its elevated recurrence rates. Apart from cases of incomplete excision, there is a lack of consensus regarding the impact of other risk factors on the likelihood of recurrence.
