[Tenosynovial giant cell tumour of the hand and wrist: early diagnosis and surgical treatment].
Fourty two patients with tenosynovial giant cell tumour, treated with radical excision, underwent detailed follow-up to evaluate the outcomes and to find early the possible recurrence of disease. Radical excision is the only way to have a complete recovery from disease and total recovery of function. Early diagnosis of recurrence is possible by careful clinical examination, ultrasonography and, in selected cases, magnetic resonance imaging.
