Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) and enchondroma are identified as the most prevalent benign soft tissue and bone tumors of the hand. While their individual presence is a common finding, their concurrent appearance in the same anatomic region is exceptionally rare, making simultaneous diagnosis more burdensome. We present a noteworthy case of GCTTS and enchondroma in the index finger of a young patient, along with the therapeutic strategy for correct diagnosis and effective treatment of such an occurrence.

Material And Method: Between January 2008 and October 2014, 21 patients’ data and MRI findings were retrospectively reviewed by two musculoskeletal radiologists; data including sex, age, location of mass, number of lesion, size, shape, fatty component, adhesion to the tendon, signal intensity, neurovascular, and osseous involvement was recorded.

Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign primary bone tumor usually involving secondary centers of enchondral ossification. The consistent epiphyseal location in the great majority of chondroblastomas signifies that the tumor may arise from an aberrant germ cell of the physeal plate. This case report describes a chondroblastoma located in a atypical nonphyseal location, namely in the right fourth metatarsal base.
