Abstract
Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath are usually benign, but their t endency to recur is well documented. Malignant giant cell tumors are e xtremely rare and their prognosis is very poor. We report a case of a ''borderline'' giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath and the puzzle in determining the right therapy.
