A myxoma is a neoplasm comprised of mesenchymal connective tissue. Myxomas of the upper extremity, and particularly of the hand, are rare. We present a case of a hypothenar myxoma causing ulnar neuropathy in a patient with a history of acute inflammatory demyelinating process. Treatment and management of myxoma may vary depending on whether the process is malignant or benign; thus, histologic diagnosis is critical to determining treatment. The purpose of this article is to review the pathophysiology and clinical features of myxomas, and to provide recommendations for evaluating and treating individuals with extremity masses of unclear clinical diagnosis.
黏液瘤是一种由间充质结缔组织构成的肿瘤。上肢黏液瘤，尤其是手部黏液瘤较为罕见。我们报告一例小鱼际黏液瘤导致尺神经病变的病例，该患者有急性炎症性脱髓鞘病史。黏液瘤的治疗和管理可能因病情是恶性还是良性而有所不同；因此，组织学诊断对于确定治疗方案至关重要。本文旨在综述黏液瘤的病理生理学和临床特征，并为评估和治疗临床诊断不明的肢体肿物患者提供建议。
