Bone &

Synovial sheath
& soft tissues
 The
hand is the site of a great variety of
benign lesions and a few malignant
lesions but benign ones predominates .
 Malignant skin tumors squamous cell
carcinoma, basal cell carc. & malignant
melanoma are not included in this
survey
 Tumor like conditions are mentioned
 Patients
seek advice early because
of simplicity of recognition and
the disability that attends a small
lesion in the hand.
 Benign
lesions in the hand are first
noticed as a palpable mass, an
enlarged digit, or a mechanical
dysfunction .
 Pain may be the presenting symptom
in glomus tumor,osteoid osteoma
osteoblastoma
 Many
metabolic and degenerative
processes are seen in the hand as
radiolucent areas, subchondral
degenerative cysts in arthropathies
and in gout.
 Parathyroid adenoma
Diagnosis
 Standard
X-ray of the hand of
excellent quality and definition are
essential
 C.T. & M.R.I. & Bone scan
 Clinical photo prior to surgery
 Angiography
in the hand is a
useful technique for
determining the anatomical
extent of the lesion and its
relationship to intricate system.
Particularly in vascular tumors.
 Many
lesions in the hand are part
of systemic processes.
Radioactive isotope scan serves as
a total skeletal survey. Any area of
increased activity must be judged
in light of the over all clinical
picture.
Planning Treatment for Hand
Tumours
 For
benign lesions of the digits
incisions should be placed in
such a way that they do not
subsequently interfere with
function.
Types of Surgical Approach




Marginal excision.
Curettage & graft.
Wide resection and intercalary
reconstruction.
Wide ray resection.
 In
many instances ray resection
may be a cosmetically and
functionally superior method of
reconstruction than composite
tissue grafting.
 Caution
is needed against
overenthusiastic reconstruction
with potential loss of the
remaining function of the hand.
Enchondroma:
Solitary and Multiple
The small bones of the hand and
have a marked predilection to
proximal and middle phalanx and to
metacarpal
Cartilagenous tumors

ECCHONDROMA

Common painless unless pathological fracture

Curettage & graft after path. fracture.

 In
contrast, many sarcomas in
the hand and particularly on the
dorsum tend to mimic an
inflammatory process with
diffuse swelling, local heat and
erythema rather than appear as a
discrete swelling.
Fibrous Tissue Tumors
 Fibroma,
localised well
differeniated
 Palmar fscia contracture,

nodules over years

Fibrous Tissue Tumors
Diffuse Fibromatosis

Diffuse Fibromatosis is a soft tissue
tumour of neurolemmal sheath ,muscular
fibrous sheath that has a nasty habit of
many local recurrences if not completely
excised. These tumors can be very painful
and disfiguring. They show tendency to
malignant destructive recurrence.

Implantation Dermoid
Skin epithelial cells implanted through a small skin puncture
Megalodactylia
In the Hands and Feet



Hyperplastic, giant overgrowth of one or more
digit usually the middle, index, or thumb,
including the phalanges.
Some are due to bony overgrowth with normal
appearing soft tissue parts, others from excess
fat, lymphatic and fibrous tissue.
Large neurofibromata with trophic effect on the
overgrowth may be associated with angiomata
and lymphomata
