Ultrasonographic evaluation of wrist ganglia

This study was performed to assess the effectiveness of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of wrist ganglia and in their differentiation from other lesions. Sonographic examination of 73 patients with palpable masses was performed; their healthy hands and those of 25 healthy volunteers constituted the reference standard. Ganglia appeared sonographically as anechoic oval, round, or lobulated cystic structures. Ultrasound proved an accurate tool in their diagnosis, with the general advantages of easy, quick, and inexpensive application.

“…Although only 3% of cSCC involve regional lymph nodes at initial diagnosis, [7] nodal relapse rates can be as high as 80% for at-risk sites such as the lip. [8] Current recommendation is for nodal dissection of clinically palpable or enlarged nodes after involvement is confirmed with core biopsy or fine needle aspiration of the enlarged node.…”

“…[9] The recommendations for clinically normal nodes is observation. [7,9] Nonetheless, there is concern that observation alone may constitute undertreatment in the population of patients at high risk who harbor subclinical disease in the nodal basin. These include those with risk features of poorly differentiated SCC, lymphovascular invasion, and perineural invasion.…”

Long-term remission after low dose radiotherapy in patient with extensive squamous cell carcinoma of the hand

Rationale for Case Report:Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) of the hand is uncommon and tends to have poorer outcomes. Surgical resection with wide margins around the tumor is recommended as the treatment of choice, and radiotherapy is considered second-line treatment. Nodal evaluation involves dissection necessitating some morbidity. The role of less invasive modalities of nodal evaluation is not well established.Case Presentation:We report a case of locally advanced case of hand cSCC. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed disease involving full thickness of the hand as well as the ipsilateral axillary node. To achieve adequate surgical margins would have necessitated amputation at the wrist, which the patient did not consent to. Instead, he was given a two-and-a-half week course radiotherapy to the hand without axillary radiation. With the radiotherapy treatment, he managed to achieve complete remission of disease while retaining full function of the hand, which was maintained at 22 months post-treatment.Main Lessons:CSCC of the hand is uncommon and challenging to treat. Radiotherapy is a highly effective treatment modality which is able to achieve functional preservation. Care should be taken when evaluating nodal status using PET-CT.

“…Benign tumours are common in the hand, but leiomyoma is uncommon: in a series by Butler et al of 437 hand tumours only one was a leiomyoma [5]. Leiomyoma is a benign proliferation of smooth muscle mesenchyme, is commonly well-differentiated, and hardly ever transforms to a malignant tumour.…”

IntroductionWe present a previously undescribed entity: trigger finger secondary to a leiomyoma. This is the first time such a case has been reported and highlights the fact that common conditions can sometimes present secondary to rare diseases.Case presentationA 39-year-old Caucasian man presented with a fairly typical presentation of trigger finger. During surgical treatment, the lesion was excised and sent for histology, which showed tissue consistent with a leiomyoma. The patient made an uneventful recovery.ConclusionTrigger finger is a common condition that is usually easily diagnosed and managed. However, it is important to appreciate that uncommon conditions, such as leiomyoma, can present with what is sometimes considered trivial disease, and one should always consider the differential diagnoses even when faced with relatively benign conditions.
