AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2004 Aug;183(2):337-9. doi: 10.2214/ajr.183.2.1830337.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the sonographic characteristics of giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath.

Conclusion: Giant cell tumors of the hand typically appear as solid, homogeneous hypoechoic masses with detectable internal vascularity that are associated with the flexor tendons of the fingers.
