腱鞘巨细胞瘤(手指或拇指上的肿块) 资料

本页面由机器翻译,尚未经临床医生审核。英文版本为权威版本。

您的感受

您可能会在手指或拇指上发现一个小的、坚硬的肿块。这是一种良性生长物,意味着它不是癌症。它位于腱鞘上,腱鞘是一种光滑的覆盖层,有助于肌腱顺畅滑动。大多数人最初发现这个肿块时没有疼痛感。它可能只是感觉像皮肤下的一个奇怪凸起。

随着肿块增大,它可能会压迫附近的神经或组织。您可能会在该特定部位感到钝痛或锐痛。当您使用手部时,疼痛通常会加重。需要抓握或捏取的任务,如打开罐子或拿手机,可能会变得不舒服。您可能还会注意到肿块附近的关节僵硬。

有些人会在夜间感到疼痛。这可能会使入睡或保持睡眠变得困难。侧卧在该手上会对肿块施加额外压力,导致搏动性或刺痛感。您可能会在醒来时发现手指僵硬,需要几分钟才能缓解。

日常活动可能会变得困难。简单的动作,如扣衬衫纽扣或塞上衣,可能会感觉别扭。伸手到背后扣文胸或调整衣物可能会引起疼痛。您可能会发现自己避免用那只手进行重体力劳动或重复性任务。

重要的是要知道,这个肿块在切除后可能会复发。局部复发见于高达 20% 的病例。大多数复发发生在手术后的头两年内。然而,一些患者在更长时间内仍处于复发风险中,复发可能发生在初始治疗后的十九至三十年。这就是为什么您的外科医生会随着时间的推移密切监测该区域。

如果您肿胀时间较长,或者肿胀是在受伤后开始的,则需要进行适当的影像学检查。这有助于排除其他疾病。虽然罕见,但软组织肿瘤可能模仿常见的损伤。保持警惕对于确保您获得正确的诊断和治疗至关重要。您的外科医生将指导您采取下一步措施来管理症状并预防并发症。

实际情况是什么

腱鞘巨细胞瘤是一种常见于手部的良性肿块。它通常出现在手指或拇指上。虽然名称听起来令人担忧,但这种生长物是良性的。这意味着它不会扩散到身体的其他部位。

肿块形成于覆盖肌腱的软组织中。肌腱是连接肌肉与骨骼的坚韧、绳索状纤维,使您能够弯曲和伸直手指。肿瘤在腱鞘(包裹这些纤维的保护性鞘管)内缓慢生长。

随着肿块扩大,它会压迫周围结构。这种压力正是导致您所感受到的症状的原因。您可能会注意到皮下有一个坚实且无痛的隆起。在某些情况下,这种生长物可能会刺激关节或限制活动。

尽管这些肿瘤是良性的,但在极少数情况下可能表现出侵袭性行为。它们在切除后有复发的倾向。因此,谨慎的治疗至关重要。您的外科医生将力求完整切除肿块,以降低复发风险。

将这种情况与其他手部肿块区分开来非常重要。有时,X 光或 MRI 等影像学检查无法清晰区分腱鞘巨细胞瘤与其他类型的生长物。因此,在决定治疗方案之前,精确的诊断至关重要。

虽然这些肿瘤在成人中最常见,但在儿童中则较为罕见。如果您手部出现肿块,您的外科医生会对其进行仔细评估。他们将确定是否存在这种特定类型的生长物,并为您制定最佳的治疗方案。

我们能采取的措施

在洛克汉普顿 Mater 私人医院,Kieran Hirpara 医生首先通过确认肿块的性质来应对这种情况。影像学检查有助于我们将腱鞘巨细胞瘤与其他原因区分开来,尽管它有时可能与其他软组织问题相似。我们在选择治疗方案前会先明确诊断。

对于许多患者,我们从保守治疗开始。这包括改变活动方式以减少手指或拇指的负担,以及进行手部治疗以保持关节活动顺畅。如果存在疼痛或肿胀,我们可能会建议服用抗炎药物或注射可的松以减轻局部炎症。这些步骤旨在通过非手术方式管理症状并改善功能。我们通常会给予这种方法充分的尝试,以观察其是否能提供足够的缓解。

当保守治疗未能带来足够改善,或肿块增大并影响手部功能时,我们会考虑手术。腱鞘巨细胞瘤是良性的,但切除后可能会复发。我们的目标是在保留关节和肌腱功能的前提下,进行彻底但保守的切除以去除肿块。在某些情况下,如果病变累及骨骼,我们可能会使用一种称为“刮除术”的技术,即刮除受影响区域,有时会用骨水泥填充该空间以支撑结构。

复发是一个已知的风险。大多数复发发生在最初两年内,但部分患者长期处于风险之中,复发可能发生在初始治疗后的长达三十年内。我们会在术后密切监测您,以便尽早发现任何变化。如果发生复发,进一步手术仍然有效。既往治疗(如骨水泥填充)似乎不会降低通过单纯刮除或广泛切除治疗复发的有效性。

在肿瘤广泛或手术难以切除的罕见情况下,放射治疗可能是一个选择。研究表明,放射治疗可以有效控制肿瘤,十年无进展率高达 85%。当手术不可行时,这是一种安全有效的替代方案。

我们将治疗视为共同决策的过程。我们会与您讨论风险、益处及复发的可能性。我们的目标是在长期内控制局部病变并保留手部功能。无论是通过治疗、药物还是手术,我们都会根据您的具体需求和疾病程度量身定制治疗方案。

预期情况

腱鞘巨细胞瘤是手指或拇指上常见的良性肿块。虽然它是良性的,但切除后可能会复发。大多数复发发生在最初两年内。然而,部分患者长期处于复发风险中,复发可能在初次治疗后的十九至三十年发生。

如果您不处理该肿块,它可能会持续存在或缓慢增大。它很少自行消退。由于这些肿瘤可能具有局部侵袭性,您的外科医生可能会建议切除,以防止进一步生长并保护关节功能。

手术后,您的手部需要时间愈合。在恢复活动能力时,您可能会经历一些肿胀和僵硬。大多数人会在几周内恢复正常日常活动,但完全恢复力量可能需要更长时间。我们会密切监测您的恢复情况,以确保关节保持稳定和功能。

在极少数情况下,肿瘤细胞可能残留在手术瘢痕中,导致软组织复发。这就是为什么我们 meticulous 关注手术细节的原因。如果肿瘤复发,通常可以通过仔细刮除或更广泛的切除再次治疗。这些重复手术是有效的,不会降低您长期控制病情的机会。

对于大多数患者,预后是积极的。您可以期望保持手部的全部功能。我们的目标是实现持久且保留关节功能的效果。虽然保持警惕很重要,但您无需过度担忧。定期复查有助于我们及早发现任何变化。通过适当的护理,您可以在未来多年保持手部健康且活动自如。

何时就诊

如果您发现手指或拇指上有一个持续存在且不消退的肿块,请咨询您的全科医生(GP)。如果疼痛在休息后未缓解,或肿块导致手部无力、卡顿或不稳定,请要求专科医生进行评估。如果症状突然加重或影响睡眠或工作,请立即就医。即使受伤后,长期肿胀也可能表明存在严重疾病,需要在手术前进行适当的影像学检查。早期评估有助于预防并发症,并确保手部功能的最佳预后。

  • Reconstruction after wide excision by nonvascularized fibular graft is a viable alternative for giant cell tumors of the lower end of radius, though it is a challenging procedure that may be accompanied by major complications [29].
  • Non-surgical treatment has a similar risk of complications to intralesional nerve-sparing surgery and has better functional outcomes than intralesional nerve-sparing surgery for giant cell tumor of the sacrum, but patients must remain on therapy over time [32].
