Encondroma gigante falange distal del pulgar. A propósito de un caso y revisión de la bibliografía / Giant enchondroma of the thumb distal phalanx. Presentation of a case and review of the literature

RESUMEN

Presentamos un caso de encondroma gigante de la falange distal del pulgar, con importante deformidad clínica y radiológica, extremadamente infrecuente en dicha localización y cuyo tratamiento es quirúrgico mediante curetaje de la cavidad lesional y relleno con autoinjerto óseo. En este caso realizamos diagnóstico diferencial con tumor de células gigantes y quiste óseo aneurismático (radiológico y resonancia magnética nuclear) (AU)

ABSTRACT

We report on a case of giant enchondroma of the distal phalanx of the thumb, with a significant degree of clinical and radiographic deformity. It is extremely rare in this location and its treatment should be surgical, with curettage of the lesional cavity and filling with autologous bone graft. In this case, we performed a differential diagnosis of a giant cell tumour and aneurysmatic bone cyst (X-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR]) (AU)
