Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma of the wrist

Abstract

A male adult patient came to the trauma outpatient clinic due to increasing pain and paresthesias beginning at the dorsal side of the left wrist three months ago, in the further time course slowly extending to the elbow. If the patient bended his wrist, these symptoms exacerbated. The clinical examination revealed a 3 x 2 cm tumescence and induration at the dorsal aspect of the wrist. For further exploration of this finding an MR examination of the wrist was requested.The MR examination showed a fairly demarcated, significantly gadolinium enhancing mass, potentially a benign tumor, encompassing extensor tendons (Figures 1 and 2).
