Imminent Fracture Of The Tibia Due To An Osteolytic Lesion Caused By An Intraosseous Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor An Unusual Clinico-Histopathological Constellation

The tenosynovial giant cell tumor is a rare disease of the joint mucosa, tendon sheaths and bursa. We report on the rare constellation of an intraosseous manifestation of the proximal tibia of a lower leg stump after Burgess amputation as a result of a locally uncontrollable tenosynovial giant cell tumor of the upper ankle. The curettage of the local findings and operative stabilization through an intramedullary composite osteosynthesis led to an early rehabilitation of the exoprosthesis care with regaining patient autonomy.
