This is the clinical evidence summary written for health professionals. It is technical, and it lists the research this page was built from. You do not need to read it to understand your treatment or to make a decision about it.

Overview

• Scientific data regarding mucous cysts consist almost entirely of retrospective studies [1].
• Much of the management or recommendations for mucous cysts is based on expert opinion [1].
• Total dorsal capsulectomy alone is a simple treatment for mucous cysts that does not lead to any recurrence [2].
• Excision of the cyst combined with complete removal of the marginal osteophyte eradicates mucous cysts with extremely rare recurrence [3].
• Osteophyte excision without cyst excision may be a good treatment choice for mucous cysts of the finger, providing a less invasive method with complete resolution in most cases [5].
• Osteophyte removal results in a low cyst recurrence rate, indicating it should be undertaken regardless of the surgeon's plan for the soft tissues [13].
• The Zitelli bilobed flap allows excision of the cyst and thinned skin with no added risk to the nail matrix [6].
• The use of a Wolfe graft for mucous cysts is simple, easy to perform, and provides satisfactory cosmesis with acceptable recurrence rates [7].
• Surgical excision with a local advancement skin flap is a reliable treatment for digital mucous cysts, demonstrating a low recurrence rate of 1.4% and high patient satisfaction regarding the scar and willingness to undergo the procedure again [9].
• A surgical technique involving excision of the cyst, synovectomy, and débridement of osteophytes with rotational flap closure resulted in no recurrences in thirty-six patients [10].
• Pathohistological analysis is useful in cases where doubts arise about the initial diagnosis of a benign tumorous lesion [4].
• Eccrine porocarcinomas have a substantial risk of metastasis, high risk of local recurrence, and are potentially fatal [8].

Anatomy & Pathophysiology

• Mucous cysts are associated with marginal osteophytes at the distal interphalangeal joint [3].
• The primary pathology in mucous cysts involves osteophytes, and removal of these osteophytes allows for skin recovery potential [20].
• Ultrasound is a powerful modality for evaluating pathologic conditions in the hand and wrist [16].
• Ultrasound provides a cost-effective and expedient alternative or adjunct to MRI for hand and wrist evaluation [16].
• Ultrasound is best used when there is a specific clinical question regarding a well-localized abnormality [16].
• Subungual keratoacanthoma may show locally aggressive behaviour but does not metastasize [14].

Classification

• Osteophyte excision without cyst excision may be a good treatment choice for mucous cyst of the finger, providing a less invasive method with complete resolution in most cases [5].
• The use of a Wolfe graft is simple, easy to perform, and provides satisfactory cosmesis with acceptable recurrence rates [7].
• There is a statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between Type I giant cell tumours of the tendon sheath (0%) and Type II tumours (38%) [11].
• Recurrence in Type II giant cell tumours of the tendon sheath is likely due to undetected satellite lesions or incomplete excision [11].
• Incomplete excision of a granular cell nerve tumor can lead to recurrence [12].
• Osteophyte removal results in a low cyst recurrence rate [13].
• Osteophyte removal should be undertaken regardless of the surgeon's plan for the soft tissues [13].

Clinical Presentation

• Malignant natural-killer cell neoplasms can present as a mucous cyst on the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger [4].
• Eccrine porocarcinomas can present as a hand cyst [8].
• Subungual keratoacanthoma may present as a condition masquerading as flexor tenosynovitis in the finger [14].
• Ultrasound is a powerful modality for the evaluation of pathologic conditions in the hand and wrist [16].
• Ultrasound provides a cost-effective and expedient alternative and/or adjunct to MRI for hand and wrist evaluation [16].
• Ultrasound is best used when there is a specific clinical question regarding a well-localized abnormality in the hand or wrist [16].

Investigations

• Much of the management of mucous cysts is based on expert opinion [1].

• Ultrasound is a powerful modality for evaluation of pathologic conditions in the hand and wrist [16].
• Ultrasound provides a cost-effective and expedient alternative and/or adjunct to MRI [16].

Treatment

• Scientific data regarding mucous cysts consist almost entirely of retrospective studies, and much of what is done or recommended is based on expert opinion [1].
