| Summary: | Giant Cell Tumours Of Tendon Sheath (GCTTS) are the second most frequent soft tissue tumours affecting the hand with an overall
incidence of 1 in 50,000 individuals. These tumours are usually localized and solitary, with multiple GCTTS occurring rarely. Multi-centric
origin is considered unusual and very few cases of multiple GCTTS have been reported till date. Here, we report a rare case of a 26-yearold female who presented with multiple painless swellings on palmar aspect of little finger of right hand since six months. Clinical diagnosis
of Dupuytren’s contracture was given. Intraoperative examination revealed multiple separate nodules, firmly attached to the flexor tendon
synovial sheath. Histopathology showed features of GCTTS. |
