Abstract
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheathsare benign tumors of strictly local malignancy with an aggressive tendency. The progressive prognosis is dominated by the risk of recurrence after surgical excision. Their management requires surgery which remains difficult and which must be well planned and correctly executed to avoid recurrence. The authors report the case of a 24-year-old female patient with a giant cell tumor of the tendon sheaths of the big toe. The patient underwent complete tumor resection. The evolution was favorable without recurrence.
