Brief Answer:
Prognosis is good provided the factors as mentioned below are normal.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Since the histopath report has specifically mentioned that this is Benign giant cell tumor of tendon sheath, no evidence of malignancy, the prognosis appears good.
Cancerous growth is ruled out.
If the tumor has been completely removed the chance of recurrence is also very low.
So good prognosis.
There are no known complications as surgery has been done in August 2018.
Prognosis if good if the scar is healthy, there is no recurrence at the moment. (as you not mentioned about recurrence) and the movement of the operated finger is normal.
I hope this answers your query.
Please give feedback and post photos of the operated finger if there are any symptoms or unusual things.
