Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A new case with 14-year follow-up of an extremely rare variety of congenital hand macrodactyly is presented. The disease characteristically presents a diffuse proliferation of fibrofatty tissue, but in this special type, osteocartilaginous deposits around the joints can also be found. The case presented included the troublesome feature of a lipofibromatous hamartoma in the median nerve at the wrist and its branches producing carpal tunnel syndrome. The patient obtained benefit from carpal tunnel release and epineurolysis. The hyperostotic development was managed with conservative resection of the periarticular osteochondromas. The literature reviewed suggests that the hyperostotic cases of macrodactyly do not differ from general cases of this congenital condition, except for the osteochondral deposits. These tumours develop during adulthood or after previous trauma, before epiphyseal closure. |
