Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumour

Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumour (TGCT) is a rare, locally aggressive tumour arising from the synovial tissue of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. It occurs in two subtypes: localised (a tumour with a distinct, contained boundary) and diffuse (infiltrative growth without a clear boundary, which can destroy surrounding cartilage and bone). The diffuse subtype frequently recurs after surgery. Targeted therapies blocking the CSF1/CSF1R pathway have become an important treatment option for disease that cannot be fully removed surgically.
