A giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) is 1 of the most common soft‐tissue tumors of the hand and wrist, while the 2nd most frequent site is the ankle‐foot complex. Although various solid tumors can develop in the axilla, GCTTS has not yet been reported. We describe the sonographic appearance of GCTTS in the axilla. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
