Abstract
The current report presents the case of a 41‑year‑old male exhibiting a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT‑TS) arising from the patellar tendon sheath. Plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well‑localized mass that wrapped around the patellar tendon, and extended from the subcutis into the infrapatellar fat pad and tibia. Following histopathological determination of the diagnosis, a piecemeal resection was performed. Nodular‑type GCT‑TS occurs less frequently in large joints compared with the small joints of the fingers and toes. The current report presents the unique features of a case of GCT‑TS extending around the patellar tendon, and invading into the knee joint and proximal tibia bone.
