چکیده

Chondroma of soft tissue is rare. We report a patient in whom a chondroma occurred within the flexor tendon sheath of the index finger. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the extent of the tumor, which wrapped around flexor tendons within the sheath, but did not invade either tendons or sheath. Total excision was done with preservation of the flexors and flexor tendon sheath. After the operation, the index finger had a full range of motion, and movement was painless.

Extraskeletal Chondroma of the Index Finger: A Case Report

Extraskeletal chondroma is defined as a rare, benign, cartilaginous tumor arising from soft tissues such as tendons, tendon sheath synovia, and joint capsules with no continuity to the periosteum or bone cortex. In histopathologic findings, the tumor exhibits many lobular structures and some parts similar to hyaline cartilage. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate this tumor fro...

Deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in a soft tissue chondroma.

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposits were found in an extraarticular chondroma of the soft parts overlying the distal phalanx of the right middle finger. The lesion appeared to arise from the flexor tenosynovium. The pathogenesis of soft tissue chondroma and the relation of cartilage metaplasia to the process of CPPD crystal deposition were investigated.

Introduction: The usual causes of flexor tendon injuries in hand are penetrating wounds. Closed injury and avulsion of flexor tendon are rare and mostly occur as avulsion of flexor digitorum profundus tendon of ring finger from its bony insertion at distal phalanx. Closed avulsion of flexor digitorum superficialis is even rarer. The rarest is simultaneous closed avulsion of both flexors in...
