Giant Cell Tumor ng Tendon Sheath (Buto sa Daliri o Hinlalaki) Impormasyon

Ang pahinang ito ay isinalin ng makina at hindi pa nasusuri ng isang doktor. Ang bersyong Ingles ang siyang opisyal.

Ano ang nararamdaman mo

Maaaring mapansin mo ang isang maliit, matigas na buntong sa iyong daliri o hinlalaki. Ito ay isang benignong paglago, na nangangahulugan na hindi ito kanser. Nakaupo ito sa tendon sheath, ang madulas na takip na tumutulong sa iyong mga tendon na gumalaw nang maayos. Karamihan sa mga tao ay nakakakita na ang buntong ito ay walang sakit sa simula. Maaaring pakiramdam lang nito ay isang kakaibang buntong sa ilalim ng balat.

Habang lumalaki ang buntong, maaari itong pindutin ang mga malalapit na nerbiyos o tisyu. Maaaring makaramdam ka ng mapait na sakit o matulis na sakit sa partikular na lugar na iyon. Karaniwang lumalala ang sakit kapag gumagamit ng iyong kamay. Ang mga gawain na nangangailangan ng hawak o pagpipit, tulad ng pagbubukas ng bote o paghawak ng telepono, ay maaaring maging hindi komportable. Maaari ring mapansin mo ang pagkakasikip ng kasukasuan sa kasukasuan malapit sa buntong.

May ilang tao ang nakakakita ng sakit sa gabi. Maaari itong magpahina sa pagtulog o pagmanat sa pagtulog. Ang paghiga sa kamay na iyon ay maaaring magdagdag ng presyon sa buntong, na nagdudulot ng pulso o tingling. Maaari kang gumising na may mahigpit na daliri na tumatagal ng ilang minuto bago lumuwag.

Ang mga araw-araw na gawain ay maaaring maging mahirap. Ang mga simpleng galaw tulad ng pag-button ng damit o pagtatakip ng iyong itaas na bahagi ay maaaring maging kakaiba. Ang pag-abot sa likod ng iyong likod upang i-fasten ang bra o ayusin ang iyong damit ay maaaring maging masakit. Maaari kang makakita na iwasan ang paggamit ng kamay na iyon para sa mabigat na pag-angat o paulit-ulit na mga gawain.

Mahalagang malaman na maaaring bumalik ang buntong pagkatapos ng pag-alis. Ang lokal na pagbabalik ay nakikita sa hanggang 20% ng mga kaso. Karamihan sa mga pagbabalik ay nangyayari sa loob ng unang dalawang taon pagkatapos ng operasyon. Gayunpaman, may ilang pasyente na nananatiling nasa panganib sa loob ng mas matagal, na may mga pagbabalik na nangyayari sa labindalawa hanggang tatlumpung taon pagkatapos ng paunang paggamot. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit susubaybayan ng iyong doktor ang lugar nang mahigpit sa loob ng panahon.

Kung mayroon kang namaga sa loob ng mahabang panahon, o kung nagsimula ang pamamaga pagkatapos ng isang pinsala, kinakailangan ang tamang pag-imaging. Tinitiyak nito ang pagwawakas ng ibang kondisyon. Bagama't bihira, ang mga tumor ng malambot na tisyu ay maaaring magmukhang karaniwang pinsala. Ang pagiging mabuti ay susi upang matiyak na makakuha ka ng tamang diagnosis at paggamot. Ang iyong doktor ay gabayin ka sa mga susunod na hakbang upang pamahalaan ang iyong mga sintomas at maiwasan ang mga komplikasyon.

Ano ang nangyayari talaga

Ang giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath ay isang karaniwang, hindi kanserosong buto na bumubuo sa iyong kamay. Karaniwan itong lumalabas sa isdaliri o hinlalaki. Maaaring matakot ang pangalan, ngunit ang paglago na ito ay benign. Ibig sabihin nito, hindi ito kumakalat sa ibang bahagi ng iyong katawan.

Ang buto ay bumubuo sa malambot na tissue na sumasakop sa iyong mga tendon. Ang mga tendon ay matibay, hibla na parang lubid na nag-uugnay sa iyong mga kalamnan sa iyong mga buto. Pinapayagan nito kang yumuko at tuwid ang iyong mga daliri. Ang tumour ay dahan-dahang lumalago sa loob ng tendon sheath, na ang protektibong manggas na nakapalibot sa mga hiblang ito.

Habang lumalaki ang masa, ito ay tumutulak sa mga kalapit na istraktura. Ang presyur na ito ang nagdudulot ng mga sintomas na maaaring mararamdaman mo. Maaaring mapansin mo ang matigas, walang sakit na butil sa ilalim ng balat. Sa ilang kaso, ang paglago ay maaaring mag-irita sa joint o limitahan ang galaw.

Kahit na ang mga tumour na ito ay benign, maaari silang maging agresibo sa bihirang mga kaso. Mayroon silang kagustuhang bumalik pagkatapos ng pag-alis. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit mahalaga ang maingat na paggamot. Ang iyong surgeon ay layuning alisin ang buong buto upang bawasan ang risk na bumalik ito.

Mahalagang paghiwalayin ang kondisyong ito sa ibang mga buto sa kamay. Minsan, ang mga imaging tests tulad ng X-rays o MRIs ay hindi malinaw na makakapaghihiwalay sa pagitan ng giant cell tumour at iba pang uri ng mga paglago. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit mahalaga ang tumpak na diagnosis bago desisyunin ang paggamot.

Habang ang mga tumour na ito ay pinakakaraniwan sa mga matatanda, bihirang ito sa mga bata. Kung mayroon kang buto sa iyong kamay, ang iyong surgeon ay masusing e-evaluate ito. Itutukoy nila kung ang partikular na uri ng paglago na ito ay naroroon at magplaplano ng pinakamainam na paraan para sa iyo.

Mga ginagawa namin para rito

Sa Mater Private Hospital Rockhampton, pinapamamaraan ni Dr. Kieran Hirpara ang kondisyong ito sa pamamagitan ng pagkumpirma muna kung ano eksakto ang bulto. Tumutulong ang imaging upang matukoy namin kung ang giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath ba ito kumpara sa ibang sanhi, bagama’t minsan ay maaari itong magmukhang katulad ng iba pang isyu sa malambot na tisyu. Sinisimulan namin ang malinaw na diagnosis bago pumili ng landas.

Para sa maraming pasyente, nagsisimula kami sa konservatibong paggamot. Kasama rito ang pagbabago sa aktibidad upang bawasan ang stress sa daliri o hinlalaki, at hand therapy upang panatilihing makinis ang galaw ng kasukasuan. Kung mayroong sakit o pamamaga, maaari naming inirerekomenda ang mga anti-inflammatory na gamot o isang cortisone injection upang paitiin ang lugar. Layunin ng mga hakbang na ito na pamahalaan ang mga sintomas at mapabuti ang pagganap nang walang operasyon. Karaniwan naming binibigyan ng patas na pagsubok ang paraang ito upang makita kung nagbibigay ito ng sapat na ginhawa.

Isinasalang-aling ang operasyon kapag hindi nagbibigay ng sapat na pagpapabuti ang konservatibong paggamot, o kung lumalaki ang bulto o nakakaapekto ito sa pagganap ng iyong kamay. Ang mga giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath ay benign (hindi kanseroso) ngunit maaaring mag-recur (bumalik) pagkatapos ng pag-alis. Ang aming layunin ay ang masusing ngunit konservatibong pag-alis upang matanggal ang bulto habang pinapanatili ang pagganap ng iyong kasukasuan at tendon. Sa ilang kaso, kung ang lesion ay nakakaapekto sa buto, maaari naming gamitin ang isang teknika na tinatawag na curettage, kung saan aming kakaliskisin ang apektadong lugar, minsan ay punan ang espasyo ng bone cement upang suportahan ang istruktura.

Ang recurrence ay isang kilalang panganib. Karamihan sa mga recurrence ay nangyayari sa loob ng unang dalawang taon, ngunit ang ilang mga pasyente ay nananatiling nasa panganib sa loob ng mas matagal, na may mga recurrence na nangyayari hanggang sa tatlongampung taon pagkatapos ng paunang paggamot. Mahigpit naming pinagmamasdan ka pagkatapos ng operasyon upang maagang makita ang anumang pagbabago. Kung mangyari ang recurrence, epektibo pa rin ang karagdagang operasyon. Hindi tila binabawasan ang epektibidad ng paggamot sa recurrence gamit ang simpleng pagkakaliskis o mas malawak na pag-alis ng mga naunang paggamot tulad ng paglalagay ng cement.

Sa bihirang mga kaso kung saan ang tumour ay malawak o mahirang alisin sa pamamagitan ng operasyon, maaaring maging opsyon ang radiation therapy. Ipinaliliwanag ng mga pag-aaral na ang radiation ay epektibong nakokontrol ang tumour, na may walong-pu’t limang porsyentong rate ng kawalan ng pag-unlad sa loob ng sampung taon. Ito ay isang ligtas at epektibong alternatibo kapag hindi feasible ang operasyon.

Tinitingnan namin ang paggamot bilang isang shared decision. Usapin namin sa iyo ang mga panganib, benepisyo, at posibilidad ng recurrence. Ang aming layunin ay kontrolin ang lesion sa lokal na antas habang pinapanatili ang pagganap ng iyong kamay sa pangmatagalan. Sa pamamagitan ng therapy, gamot, o operasyon, iniaangkop namin ang plano sa iyong partikular na pangangailangan at sakop ng sakit.

Ano ang inaasahan

Ang giant cell tumour of tendon sheath ay isang karaniwang, hindi kanserosong buntong sa iyong daliri o hinlalaki. Kahit benign ito, maaari itong muling lumitaw pagkatapos ng pag-alis. Karamihan sa mga pagkabalik ay nangyayari sa loob ng unang dalawang taon. Gayunpaman, may ilang pasyente na nananatiling nasa panganib sa loob ng mas matagal, na may mga pagkabalik na nangyayari labindalawa hanggang tatlongampung taon pagkatapos ng paunang paggamot.

Kung iiwanan mo ang buntong, maaari itong manatili o dahan-dahang lumaki. Bihirang maglaan sa sarili nito. Dahil maaaring lokal na agresibo ang mga tumour na ito, malamang na irekomenda ng iyong doktor ang pag-alis upang pigilan ang karagdagang paglago at protektahan ang pag-andar ng iyong kasukasuan.

Pagkatapos ng operasyon, kailangan ng iyong kamay ng oras upang gumaling. Inaasahan ang ilang pamamaga at katigasan habang binabawi ang galaw. Karamihan sa mga tao ay bumabalik sa karaniwang mga gawain sa loob ng ilang linggo, bagaman maaaring tumagal ng mas matagal ang buong lakas. Sinusubaybayan namin nang mahigpit ang iyong progreso upang matiyak na nananatiling matatag at functional ang kasukasuan.

Sa bihirang mga kaso, maaaring maiwan ang mga selula ng tumour sa surgical scar, na nagdudulot ng pagkabalik sa malambot na tisyu. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit binibigyan namin ng masusing pansin ang detalye ng operasyon. Kung muling lumitaw ang tumour, madalas itong maipagagamot muli gamit ang maingat na pagkaskas o mas malawak na pag-alis. Epektibo ang mga ulit na prosedura na ito at hindi binabawasan ang iyong pagkakataon para sa pangmatagalang kontrol.

Para sa karamihan sa mga pasyente, ang outlook ay positibo. Inaasahan na mapanatili ang buong paggamit ng iyong kamay. Layunin namin ang matibay, kasukasuan-pang-iing na pag-andar. Kahit mahalaga ang pagbabantay, hindi mo kailangang mag-alala nang sobra. Ang regular na mga check-up ay tumutulong sa amin na makakita ng anumang pagbabago nang maaga. Sa tamang pag-aalaga, maaari mong mapanatiling malusog at aktibo ang iyong kamay sa mga susunod na taon.

Kailan makipag-ugnayan sa doktor

Kumonsulta sa iyong doktor kung napansin mo ang isang patuloy na buntis sa iyong daliri o hinlalaki na hindi nawawala. Humingi ng pagsusuri ng espesyalista kung mayroon kang sakit na hindi gumagaling sa pamamagitan ng pahinga, o kung ang buntis ay nagdudulot ng kahinaan, pagkakasara, o kawalan ng katatagan sa iyong kamay. Humingi ng agad na pag-aalaga kung biglaang lumala ang mga sintomas o nakakaapekto sa iyong pagtulog o trabaho. Ang matagal na pamamaga, kahit pagkatapos ng isang pinsala, ay maaaring magpahiwatig ng seryosong kondisyon na nangangailangan ng tamang pag-imaging bago ang operasyon. Ang maagang pagsusuri ay tumutulong upang maiwasan ang mga komplikasyon at tinitiyak ang pinakamahusay na resulta para sa iyong pag-andar ng kamay.
