Abstract
In this report, a case of giant soft tissue tumor of the ring finger is described in detail. The patient, a health 33-year-old man, was referred to our clinic because of an asymptomatic tumor of the right ring finger. The tumor was elastic, soft, circumscribed and the size of a pigeonegg. There was no tenderness or neurological deficit. Ordinary photography revealed a smooth indentation of the middle phalanx due to the tumor. Upon resecting the tumor, it was found no to contact neurovascular units, but it compressed the extensor tendon. Histological examination revealed a neurilemmoma composed of organized elements : Antoni A cells, Antoni B cells and palisadings. The origin of this tumor is discussed here.
