Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumour

Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is a common benign lesion of the hand. They are also known as tenosynovial giant cell tumours. Magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging modality of choice and the current treatment is surgical excision of the lesion. This lesion is particularly known for its high recurrence rates. Here, we present a case of a recurrent tenosynovial giant cell tumour of the flexor tendon sheath of the index finger at the distal palmar crease. Diagnosis was confirmed by MRI and the lesion was excised. Histopathology revealed a localized type of tenosynovial giant cell tumour.

Tunnel Syndrome

The histological features of the flexor tendon sheath in the spontaneous carpal tunnel syndrome were studied. The main differences between our findings and previous studies were twofold. Firstly a striking absence of inflammation in our material and secondly the diversity of the pathological changes encountered — alterations in the connective tissue especially the collagen; proliferation with thickening of the tissues of the tendon sheath; fibrosis; amyloid deposition; oedema; vascular lesions including thickening of vessels walls, intimal hyperplasia, and thrombosis; and a foreign body giant cell reaction. Although the lesions described here may not be significant in every case in which they are encountered, they do appear to support the view that pressure in the carpal tunnel and ischaemia are the important factors in a majority of cases of the spontaneous carpal tunnel syndrome.

Trigger Wrist

Trigger wrist is a rare condition unlike the trigger finger of the metacarpophalangeal joint. This report describes a case of trigger wrist secondary to a giant cell tumour of the flexor tendon sheath. No previous reports are available in the medical literature.

Performance Rate

Of 875 idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) cases, 101 (11.5%) required trigger digit release operations within three years before and/or after carpal tunnel release (CTR); these 101 cases were investigated, retrospectively. Trigger digit release (TDR) was performed most often after the CTR, especially within three months. Next most common was at the same time as the CTR. The TDR performance rate after CTR was 5.9%. The nerve conduction study (NCS) comparison between trigger digits-associated CTS and isolated CTS showed that pre-operative distal motor latency was significantly more delayed in trigger digits-associated CTS, while there was no evidence of any difference due to age or gender. The difference of operative method (open or endoscopic procedure) did not influence the incidence rate of trigger digits after the CTR. This study suggested that trigger digits-associated CTS has a previously developed wide-ranging narrowing of the flexor tendon sheath.
