Abstract

Malignant tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TsGCT) is a rare disease that can arise as a recurrent lesion or co-exist with a benign TsGCT lesion. Here we report a rare case of malignant TsGCT in a 73-year-old male with a history of lymphoma. The tumor appeared as a superficial soft-tissue mass in the subcutaneous fat tissue of the left knee.

악성 건초 거대세포종은 매우 드물며 양성 거대 세포 종양 이후 발생하거나 함께 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 임파종을 가진 73세 남자 환자에서 왼쪽 무릎의 표재성 연부 종양으로 나타난 드문 악성 거대 세포 종양에 대해 보고한다.
