Abstract
Background
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is rare in children. The largest retrospective single series in children only included 29 patients over a 16-year period with a mean age of 11.
Case report
We present for discussion a 21-month-old female as the youngest known patient with confirmed GCTTS and review the differential diagnosis.
Conclusion
GCTTS should be included in the differential in patients under ten years of age. Presentation and pathology mimic adult GCTTS, however pediatric anatomy complicates excision. Children can have successful outcomes following excision, although no long-term outcomes have been reported, making patient counseling difficult.
