Diffuse-type giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is a rare, benign, yet locally aggressive soft tissue tumor commonly affecting the hand. This case report presents a 55-year-old male with a 5-year history of GCTTS in the flexor tendon sheath of the long finger. MRI played a critical role in both diagnosis and surgical planning, revealing key features such as the tumor's 10 cm length, hemosiderin deposition, and blooming artifacts.

Introduction: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard surgical treatment to lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostatic obstruction (LUTS/BPO). Although it has been proven to have substantial efficacy in improving functional outcomes, it has shown a high incidence of complications, including transurethral resection syndrome, massive bleeding, urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. High-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) is a novel non-thermal ablation technique that delivers pulsed high-voltage but low-energy electric current to the cell membrane, thereby leading to cell death.
