GCTTS is a benign, slowly growing lesion of the hand that typically does not cause any symptoms and is treated with surgical resection. Meticulous excision of the GCTTS using magnification loupes to ensure appropriate wide excision of the tumour is the treatment of choice to prevent a recurrence. In addition, a radiographic and histopathological examination must be performed on the tumour to rule out other diagnoses. Finally, the function of the hand should be reconstructed to minimize the loss of any functional unit.
