Benign Soft Tissue Tumor

A lipoma is a common, benign soft-tissue tumor that rarely arises in the upper limb. When one does occur in the hand, the location of the lipoma can cause nerve compression, which can mimic carpal tunnel symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging is the visualization modality of choice for diagnosis and surgical planning of lipomas. Surgical resection is recommended to relieve the neurological manifestations of this disease. The surgeon should always suspect liposarcoma first before voluminous, atypical, or recurrent tumors are considered.

Operative Findings

Eleven wrists in eight patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were investigated by electrophysiological studies and magnetic resonance imaging (M.R.I.). The operative findings in ten wrists correlated with the M.R.I. evidence of synovial disease, carpal tunnel stenosis and median nerve compression.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of the salivary glands, most commonly affecting the parotid gland. Pleomorphic adenoma of the ear is rare. The use of imaging modalities, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is particularly useful in localizing and surgical planning of these tumors. We present a case of pleomorphic adenoma invading the mastoid cortical bone, with review of literature. How to cite this article Vamanshankar H, Parida PK.

Median Neuropathy

ABSTRACTWe present a case of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) due to compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, caused by cysticercosis. Nerve conduction studies revealed severe CTS. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested an inflammatory mass compressing the median nerve in carpal tunnel. The histological diagnosis was consistent with cysticercosis. The case resolved with conservative treatment. Such solitary presentation of entrapment median neuropathy as CTS caused by cysticercosis is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the only case of its kind reported in literature till date.

Tendon Pathology

We retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool for investigating pathology in the posterior tibial tendon by comparing the preoperative ultrasonograms for 17 patients with their recorded surgical findings. In all cases, the surgical findings confirmed the ultrasonographic diagnoses: 3 inflammations, 4 partial tears, and 10 ruptures. Interestingly, two ruptures had been undiagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. Ultrasonography, which seems to be a reliable means of visualizing the extent of pathology of the symptomatic posterior tibial tendon, may be a valuable tool in surgical planning.
