Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in visualizing Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT) lesions during surgery. Patients diagnosed with TGCT will receive an intravenous injection of ICG prior to the operation to label tumor tissues. During the procedure, surgeons will use a near-infrared fluorescence imaging system to visualize the tumor and potential residual lesions in the surgical bed. The study aims to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of ICG fluorescence imaging by comparing the intraoperative fluorescence findings with the final pathological results of the resected tissues.

- label
- ICG Fluorescence Imaging Group
- description
- All enrolled participants receive ICG fluorescence-guided surgery. Following standard tumor resection, the surgical bed is systematically explored using a near-infrared fluorescence imaging system. The intervention consists of detecting residual fluorescence signals, obtaining verification samples for pathology, and performing supplementary resection of confirmed suspicious lesions to achieve potentially cleaner surgical margins.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Diagnostic Accuracy of ICG Fluorescence Imaging (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV)
- timeFrame
- From the time of surgery until the final pathology report is available, assessed up to 1 week post-operatively.
- description
- The diagnostic performance of ICG fluorescence imaging in detecting TGCT lesions will be evaluated by comparing the intraoperative fluorescence status (Positive/Negative) with the final histopathological diagnosis (Tumor/Non-tumor) of the resected specimens. The unit of analysis is the individual specimen. The following metrics will be calculated: Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Negative Predictive Value (NPV).
