Localized/nodular TGCT (L-TGCT), sometimes referred to as “giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath”; [3]: 100 is a common tumor that presents as a slow-growing, encapsulated, localized and limited bump, most frequently in the fingers.
A number of tumors have giant cells, but are not true benign giant-cell tumors. These include aneurysmal bone cyst, chondroblastoma, simple bone cyst, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, osteosarcoma, giant-cell reparative granuloma, Giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath and brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism.

Fibroma of tendon sheath is a benign tumor that presents as a small subcutaneous nodule that slowly increases in size. [1] This is a notably uncommon condition. According to case report literature, the tumors often have a multinodular growth pattern, with individual nodules being composed of bland, slender, spindle-shaped cells (myofibroblasts) in a dense, fibrous matrix.” [2] A common ...
Desmoid-type fibromatosis, also termed desmoid tumor and aggressive fibromatosis [26] Lipofibromatosis, a mixture of lipofibromatosis tumors with different gene abnormalities; [27] these tumors differ from lipofibromatosis-like neural tumors which have not been classified as fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors. Giant cell fibroblastoma [28]

A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled bump associated with a joint or tendon sheath. [3] It most often occurs at the back of the wrist, followed by the front of the wrist. [3] [4] The cause is unknown. [3] The underlying mechanism is believed to involve an outpouching of the synovial membrane. [4] Diagnosis is typically based on examination.
As such, the term lives on in the names of many conditions, even when the size of the cell is no longer one of the most important diagnostic criteria. The phrase giant cell is also frequently used, especially with carcinoma. Giant cell tumors include giant-cell tumor of bone, giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath, [1] and giant cell ...
Desmoid tumors are a type of fibromatosis and related to sarcoma, though without the ability to spread throughout the body (metastasize). The tumors arise from cells called fibroblasts, which are found throughout the body and provide structural support, protection to the vital organs, and play a critical role in wound healing. These tumors tend ...
