Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and health concerns in detail ,
GCTTS is a benign lesion arising from the synovium of tendon sheath mainly in fingers, but can be present in large joints mainly in the knee. A knee MRI is the diagnostic tool, and a complete excision is curative with rare cases of recurrence.
There is no chances of become malignant, after a complete excision usally there is no relapse.
