Melorheostosis can be associated with various soft tissue lesions of the affected limb. A case is presented in which a severe carpal tunnel syndrome developed in a middle-aged woman with melorheostosis of the right upper limb since childhood.

Forearm Pain

The forearm, hand, and wrist is a functionally vital part of the musculoskeletal system and in consequence, is highly sophisticated and complex in its anatomical development. Frequently, the hand and wrist may be the site of onset of symptoms of a polyarthropathy such as rheumatoid arthritis or of osteoarthritis, so that the physician should always seek to screen for such conditions before making a local diagnosis. Tenosynovitis, de Quervain’s disease, trigger digit, Dupuytren’s, and carpal tunnel syndrome are local soft tissue pathologies which can usually be discriminated on clinical grounds with or without the use of simple diagnostic tests and are satisfying to treat for the most part. Non-specific forearm pain is more complex, with much controversy surrounding not only its aetiopathogenesis but also its existence. It can be difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat.

Matching Criteria

We compared functional and structural changes in the hands, in particular the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome, in 56 paraplegic patients who had been wheelchair dependent for over 25 years with a group of able-bodied volunteers (with matching criteria for gender and age). The hands were assessed by clinical examination, electrophysiology, disabilities of the arm shoulder and hand score and magnetic resonance imaging. Hand function was worse and wrist pain was experienced more often in the paraplegic patients, and they also had a significantly higher prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome both clinically and electrophysiologically. The prevalence of wrist and trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis was significantly higher in the right hand.

Herein is described a haemodialysis patient with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome suffering from recurrence unilaterally after undergoing numerous surgeries of varying methods. On the left side, she received carpal tunnel release via open method in our clinic, and has not suffered from recurrence in eight years. On the right side, she received endoscopic carpal tunnel release twice in seven years, and subsequently underwent open carpal tunnel release in our clinic for recurrence. For carpal tunnel syndrome in haemodialysis patients, we recommend open surgery rather than endoscopic surgery.

Tunnel Syndrome

It has been previously noted that synovial haemangiomas in the hand and wrist are very rare pathological entities. We report the case of a 34-year-old right hand dominant male who presented to his general practitioner with an enlarging left volar wrist/ palmar mass, who further developed symptoms consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome. An MRI scan subsequently confirmed a large, complex mass with area of necrosis and peripheral enhancement. The rate of mass growth and radiological features raised the possibility of a soft tissue malignancy, and the gentleman was urgently referred to our unit for surgical exploration and removal of tumour. Surgical exploration demonstrated a tan-coloured soft tissue mass on the ulnar aspect of the median nerve. It appeared to arise from, and marginally infiltrated, the tendon sheath of the FDP tendon to the ring finger and the lumbrical muscle of the fourth ray; the distal and proximal extent of the tumour was difficult to define due to the diffuse growth of the tumour. Resection was achieved with macroscopic margins, with excellent functional recovery immediately and at 6 month follow-up. Histological analysis was consistent with a synovial haemangioma, comprising of numerous thin-walled blood vessels with a central cystic cavity containing blood and fibrin. Our case further demonstrates the diagnostic challenges posed by compressive neuropathy due to soft tissue masses, even with thorough clinical and radiological assessment. In the context of a rapidly growing tumour, malignancy must always be suspected and might highlight a role for pre-operative biopsy.

Patient At Risk

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma (FLH) of the nerve (also known as perineural lipoma, neural fibrolipoma, or lipomatosis of the nerve) is a well-known, rare benign lesion that can affect any peripheral nerve, resulting in significant enlargement of the involved nerve with fibrofatty infiltration. Although it is most commonly involving the median nerve, other peripheral nerves can be also involved. Being familiar with the pathognomonic characteristics on different imaging modalities and the association of this entity with macrodactyly help reach the diagnosis, avoid putting the patient at risk of an invasive procedure, and can guide management. We present to you a rare case of a FLH of the median nerve that was diagnosed on MRI of an adult female who presented with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and progressive swelling of the right hand and wrist.
