Giant cell tumor of the plantar tendon sheath: role of MR imaging in diagnosis. Case report.
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath with characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings is reported. The tumor was low intensity on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images, and showed strong homogeneous enhancement. These findings were considered to represent the pathological features of fine hemosiderin granules and collagenization.
