["Shark tooth" in the excision of so-called giant cell circumdigital tumors of the tendon sheaths. Results apropos of a series of 74 patients].
The authors propose an easily extended incision around the finger for giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath: two distally based triangles, one palmar, one dorsal, joining at the midlateral line. A V-Y plasty allows further enlargement and decreases the excess of skin bulkiness. Used in circumferentially extensive tumors, a decreased recurrence rate (4%) was noted compared to the classical approach (15%).
