A variety of tumors may be associated with the synovia of joints and tendon sheaths. Benign giant cell tumors are the most common tumefactions originating from the synovia, but they are not generally accepted as true neoplasms. 7 Synovial sarcomas show evidence of synovial-like differentiation but, paradoxically, they seldom grow in direct continuity with the synovial membrane of a joint or tendon sheath. 7 Myxosarcomas and chondrosarcomas occasionally arise from tendon sheaths but are not specific for these structures. Malignant giant cell tumors of tendon sheath origin have been reported, 8 but most of the reported examples have not metastasized. 6 Four examples of malignant tumors arising from the tendon sheaths of the hand and wrist are reported. Clinically and histologically these tumors show a remarkable resemblance to benign giant cell tumors of tendon sheath. They appear to be specific malignant neoplasms of tendon sheath but histologically do not resemble the usual synovial sarcoma. The tumors show extensive permeation into lymphatic vessels and produce a clinical picture of cutaneous lymphatic spread and lymphedema. Hematogenous metastases are prominent at autopsy.
