(A) Hematoxylin-eosin stained slide of a diffuse-type tenosynovial giant cell tumor shows sheets of small histiocytes with a villonodular pattern and hemosiderin pigments. (B) Variable proportions of polygonal mononuclear cells and multinucleated giant cell are seen. (C) The tumor cells are positive for CD68 immunohistochemical staining. (D) Nested polymerase chain reaction to detect the COL6A3-CSF1 fusion transcript (lane 1 and lane 2) and CSF1 wild-type transcripts (lane 3). COL6A3, collagen type VI alpha-3; CSF1, colony stimulating factor-1; NC, negative control; L, ladder.
