Localized deposition of ochronotic pigment in the flexor digitorum profundus tendons was associated with triggering of the fingers in one patient. The case history and histologic studies suggest that repetitive trauma might be a major factor in initiating a localized reaction enhancing pigment deposition in the flexor tendon.

One hundred fifteen cases of localized nodular synovitis (giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath) were reviewed. The optimal treatment for these lesions is unknown, and a high recurrence rate exists. Growths arose from most of the synovial sites of the hand, including joints, capsular ligaments, and tendon sheaths. Deformation of the bone surface was commonly seen; however, bone invasion was uncommon. The histologic features may vary, but the lesions are always benign and do not metastasize. Treatment consisted of thorough local excision and adjacent joint exploration when appropriate. Recurrence occurred in 10 cases (9%) with one to five additional surgical procedures needed to eradicate the lesion.

Giant cell tumors of tendon sheath are common soft tissue lesions affecting the digits, sometimes causing pressure atrophy of an adjoining bone and rarely perforating the cortex to expand into the medullary canal. One hundred thirty-three cases of giant cell tumors of tendon sheath were retrospectively reviewed; 15 (11%) showed cortical perforation and intraosseous expansion. Radiographic features, diagnoses, and surgical treatment are described. The use of soft tissue radiographic techniques and mammographic films was an extremely valuable diagnostic tool, although computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging may be necessary in some cases.

The authors report one case of Mycobacterium marinum of the deep structures of the hand and review the literature on the subject. The symptoms are not specific: biopsy and culture are essential for diagnosis. As chemotherapy does not seem to be of help, wide surgical incision is the appropriate treatment.
