PG  - 463-6
AB  - BACKGROUND: Localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (TGCT-L) is 
      a benign, slowly growing lesion with a peak incidence in the third to fifth 
      decade of life. It is thought to arise from the synovium of tendon sheaths, 
      frequently affecting interphalangeal joints of the hands, feet, ankles and knees. 
      Although the histopathologic appearances are well established, only a few reports 
      describe the cytomorphology of this lesion. CASE: A 37-year-old female presented 
      with a slowly growing, nontender mass located near the left ankle joint. The 
      cytologic features of localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor of tendon sheath 
      (TGCT-L) include abundant mononuclear histiocytic cells occurring singly and in 
      three-dimensional tissue fragments, hemosiderin within histiocytes and a few 
      multinucleated giant cells. Subsequently, the histopathologic examination of the 
      surgical specimen was proven to be TGCT-L. CONCLUSION: Fine needle aspiration 
      cytology can be used as a diagnostic tool for early and accurate detection of 
      TGCT-L since the cytologic features combined with clinical details are 
      sufficiently distinctive.
