“…It can show attachment of the tumour to the tendon sheath and whether there are satellite-lesions present. The tumour presents as a hypoechoic, hyperechoic, or in rare case heterogenous solid mass with detectable blood flow adjacent to the tendons [10,13]. One disadvantage is the similarity between the presentation of a ruptured ganglion cyst and a GCTTS [3].…”

Our data on the nodular GCTTS are in accordance with published data concerning the age distribution, gender distribution, and localisation. No soft-tissue imaging method is superior for the diagnosis of nodular GCTTS or for the preoperative planning. A preoperative MRI may not be necessary as clinical and ultrasound examination are sufficient. To exclude bony erosions, a preoperative X-ray is necessary.

“…Korman et al 8 found that after one year six out of 17 ganglia treated in this way had recurred. Kato et al 9 successfully employed ultrasound to aspirate 24 out of 26 ganglia of the flexor tendon sheath. None had recurred after one year.…”

Surgery for ganglia of the flexor tendon sheath

2013

There are very few reports in the literature on the results of surgery for ganglia of the flexor tendon sheaths of the digits. We reviewed 24 patients operated for flexor tendon sheath ganglia 8 (3–11) years previously. Two operations were for recurrences and one of these recurred again. There was one permanent digital nerve injury and one patient complained of cold sensibility. VAS (0=best; 100=worst) for mean general complaints from the hand was remembered as 51 before surgery and was 5 at review. Mean pain at review was reported as VAS 4 and general satisfaction with the operation as VAS 3. All stated that they would have consented to surgery if they had known the outcome in advance. We conclude that the results of surgery are good, although complications do occur.

“…Although they are commonly seen, the number of reported cases related to tendons and synovial tissue is very limited. Most cases reported in relation to tendons are on the upper extremities 1,4,20,14,13 . Few reported cases occur in the lower extremities 8,21 .…”

“…In cases that do not show spontanous regression, these may cause esthetic problems, functional discomfort, restriction of movement, and muscle weakness, or cause complaints of chronic pain. Hemangiomas that have their origin in a tendon sheath have been reported very rarely 4,15 and can rarely be diagnosed clinically. Decrease in dimensions of the lesion with elevation of the extremity is an important finding.…”
