Case Report: Giant Cell Tumor of Tendon Sheath After Breast Augmentation.

ABSTRACT: Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a benign tumor. It occurs predominantly in the hands, ankles, and knees. A 39-year-old female presented with GCTTS in the right breast after breast augmentation. There was a clear borderline between the tumor and breast tissue. In terms of morphological appearance, synovial metaplasia could be observed in part of the collagenous capsule. The tumor was moderately cellular and was composed of synovium-like monocytes.
