ABSTRACT
Se describe el caso clínico de una paciente de 58 años de edad, quien acudió a la consulta de Ortopedia y Traumatología del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba porque hacía alrededor de 5 años comenzó a notar aumento progresivo de volumen en el dorso de la mano izquierda, cercano a la articulación metacarpofalángica del tercer dedo, que le dificultaba la extensión y resultaba antiestético. Mediante la ecografía se observó una imagen ecogénica, bien delimitada, que infiltraba el espesor del tendón, por lo que se realizó la exéresis del tumor. Se comprobó la infiltración de dicho tendón, el cual se resecó y se sustituyó con autoinjerto del tendón accesorio que envía el tendón del dedo anular. Los resultados de los estudios histológicos informaron que se trataba de un tumor de células gigantes de la vaina con infiltración tendinosa. Se inmovilizó durante 3 semanas y la recuperación funcional se completó a los 45 días.
The case report of a 58 years patient is described. She went to the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba because she began to notice progressive increase of volume in the back of the left hand around 5 years ago, near the metacarpusphalangic articulation of the third finger that made its extension difficult and was unsightly. By means of the scan, a well defined echogenic image that infiltrated the thickness of the tendon was observed, reason why the exeresis of the tumor was carried out. The infiltration of this tendon was confirmed, which was dried up and substituted with self-graft of the accessory tendon that sends the ring finger tendon. The results of the histologic studies reported that it was a giant cell tumor of the sheath with tendinous infiltration. The hand was immobilized during 3 weeks and the functional recovery was completed at 45 days.

Se describe el caso de un paciente de 75 años de edad atendido en la consulta de traumatología del Centro de Diagnóstico Integral con quirófano "Calilo García" en el Estado de Apure, de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, quien desde hacía 3 años aproximadamente había sufrido un traumatismo en el dorso del pie izquierdo, por lo cual presentaba aumento de volumen, de crecimiento relativamente lento, adherido a planos profundos, no doloroso a la palpación profunda. Los estudios radiográficos del pie resultaron normales y en la ecografía de partes blandas se visualizaron imágenes de bordes mal definidos con celularidad en su interior. Se realizó la exéresis del tumor y los resultados de la biopsia confirmaron que se trataba de una sinovitis vellonodular. La evolución fue satisfactoria y el paciente se reincorporó a sus actividades habituales.
The case of a 75 years patient assisted in the Traumatology Department of "Calilo García" Center of Comprehensive Diagnosis with operating room in Apure state, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is described who, for 3 years approximately had suffered a traumatism in the dosal size of the left foot, reason why he presented an increase of volume, of relatively slow growth, adhered to deep planes, not painful at deep palpation. The radiographic studies of the foot were normal and in the echography of soft parts, images of not well defined borders were visualized with cellularity inside. The exeresis of the tumor was carried out and the results of the biopsy confirmed that it was a villonodular synovitis. The clinical course was satisfactory and the patient returned to his habitual activities.

[Objective]To analysis the clinical manifestation and treatment of tendious sheath tubercular,probe the influencing factor of misdiagnosis and effect of treatment,in order to offer evident base for diagnosis and treatment.[Method]The material of 86 cases(from January 1994 to Jun 2005)were reviewed and statistically analyzed including sex,age,nidus region,clinical manifestation,method and effect of treatment,etc.[Result]65% of the cases were 30~49 years old.Sexual difference was not significant.Nidus region in right side was apparently higher than that in left(67%:30%).Major manifestation was edema,tenderness and mal-motion.The misdiagnosis rate and recurrent rate were 88% and 1.2%.[Conclusion]Untypical clinical symptoms and sign,non-special laboratory examinations lead to misdiagnosis.The effective treatment includes integrity excision,local and general chemotherapy,which made recurrent rate low.
