ABSTRACT
O tumor de pele da mão corresponde ao câncer primário mais comum dessa região. Apesar de proporcionalmente cobrir uma pequena superfície do corpo, corresponde a uma parte considerável de todos os tumores de pele. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é mostrar de forma simples e clara as lesões mais prevalentes e encontradas no ambulatório médico, de uma forma que este pode ser usado para consulta e orientação do profi ssional médico das mais diversas especialidades, objetivando um diagnóstico rápido e assertivo, que interferirá positivamente no desfecho da doença. Nesta terceira parte do trabalho são abordados fundamentos, conceitos, classifi cações e abordagens para o melhor prognóstico do paciente.
Skin tumor of the hand is the most common primary cancer of this region. Although covering a proportionally small surface of the body, it accounts for a substantial part of all skin tumors. The main aim of this work is to show simply and clearly the most prevalent injuries found in the outpatient clinic, so that it can be used by healthcare providers from various specialties as a consultation and guidance resource, aiming at a quick and assertive diagnosis that will interfere positively with disease outcome. This third part of the work covers the fundamentals, concepts, classifi cations and approaches for a better prognosis.

Tumores ósseos da mão podem ser divididos em benignos, malignos ou metastáticos. Os benignos são os mais comuns, sendo que destes os encondromas são os mais prevalentes (1). A incidência de tumores na mão é relativamente baixa; entretanto, caso esses tumores sejam malignos, podem ser localmente invasivos e comprometer a função da mão. Geralmente para tumores benignos é realizada ressecção intralesional do tumor; porém, para tumores malignos pode ser necessária ampla excisão ou até eventualmente amputação para que não ocorra recidiva tumoral. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no Serviço de Cirurgia da Mão e Microcirurgia Reconstrutiva do Hospital São Lucas da PUCRS. Nosso objetivo é relatar os principais tipos de tumores da mão, dividindo-os em benignos e malignos, e orientar os médicos que realizarão seu primeiro atendimento em relação à clínica, exames necessários e opção de tratamentos.
Bone tumors of the hand can be divided into benign, malignant or metastatic. Benign tumors are the most common, and of these enchondromas are the most prevalent (1). The incidence of tumors in the hand is relatively low. If these are malignant tumors, however, they may be locally invasive and compromise the function of the hand. Generally for benign tumors intralesional tumor resection is performed, but malignant tumors can require wide excision or possibly even amputation so as to avoid tumor recurrence. This work was developed in the Service of Hand Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery at Hospital São Lucas of PUCRS. Our aim here is to describe the main types of hand tumors, dividing them into benign and malignant, and guide physicians seeing their fi rst patient with regard to clinical practice, necessary examinations and treatments choices.

Os tumores de partes moles da mão, principalmente os benignos como os cistos sinoviais, são queixas comuns, principalmente em consultas a cirurgiões da mão. Este trabalho tem por objetivo revisar os principais tipos de tumores de partes moles da mão, desde a sua apresentação clínica até uma revisão objetiva sobre seus diagnósticos e melhores opções terapêuticas. Visa auxiliar, também, na decisão de referência do paciente com uma lesão nodular ou cística da mão a um médico especialista após uma consulta ao médico generalista. As particularidades anatômicas e funcionais da mão tornam o estudo e o conhecimento das suas patologias fundamentais para um adequado manejo dos pacientes.
The soft tissue tumors of the hand, especially the benign ones such as synovial cysts, are common complaints, particularly in hand surgeons consultations. This work aims to review the main types of soft tissue tumors of the hand, from their clinical presentation to an objective review of their diagnoses and the best therapeutic options. It also aims to help in the decision to refer the patient with a nodular or cystic lesion of the hand to a medical specialist after consultation with the general practitioner. The anatomical and functional particularities of the hand make the study and knowledge of its conditions crucial for proper management of patients.

Hand tumorsare many and varied, although benign tumors are common. The pathology and histology of these tumors are not unlike these characteristics of the tumor when it occurs elsewhere. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of all hand tumors have been emphasized since the growth of tumors and pain can cause disturbance of intrinsic function of the hand. For the period of 10 years from 1977 to 1986, 105 cases of hand tumor were treated surgically and the results of clinical observation were as follows ; l. Among 105 cases, benign tumor was 101 cases(96.2%) Bone origin tumor was 20 cases, in which enchondroma and enchondromatosis were 17 cases(70%). Soft tissue origin tumor was 85 cases, in which ganglion was 54 cases(63.5%). 2. Among 105 cases, 42 cases were male and 63 cases were female. In age distribution, it showed even distribution. 3. In the duration of wymptom, 51 cases were below 1 year(48.6%). 4. The tumor occured 85 cases in soft tissue, 14 in phalanx, 7 in metacarpal and 1 in carpal bone. 5. The tumors were treated by excision or curettage and bone graft with good improvement, but postoperatively recurred in 2 cases of Hemangioma. Ampuation was performed in 3 cases of malignant tumors without recurrence.

Hand tumors arise from the skin, subcutaneous tissue, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones, and are of many different types. Most of them are benign but malignant lesions also occur, although only rarely. The authors have encountered 115 cases of tumors of the hand at Seoul National University Hospital between 1975 and 1984 and the following results were obtained; l. In our series of 115 cases of hand tumors (bone tumor; 47 cases, soft tissue tumor; 68 cases), most of them are benign (110 cases, 96%). 2. There are no demonstrable differences in the sex and distribution. 3. Of the bone tumors in the hand, enchondroma is most common (25 cases, 53%), followed by giant cell tumor (9 cases, 19%), and osteochondroma (7 cases, 15%). 4. Of the soft tissue tumors in the hand, ganglion is most common (28 cases, 41%), followed by hemangioma (16 cases, 24%), and xanthoma (8 cases, 12%). 5. Of the treatment modalities of bone tumors in the hand, the most frequent one is curettage and bone graft (26 cases, 53%), followed by excision, and en bloc resection and bone graft (8 cases, 16%, respectively). 6. Of the treatment modalities of soft tissue tumors in the hand, the most frequent one is excision (64 cases, 93%). 7. Although giant cell tumor, hemangioma, and lymphangioma are classified as benign histologically, their clinical course appears to be malignant, because of incomplete excision and recurrence.
