We treated a 72-year-old woman by excision of the right thumb sesamoid which contained a giant-cell lesion. Nine years later she had normal function and no evidence of other lesions, recurrence or metastasis. We recommend that the diagnosis of giant-cell reparative granuloma and giant-cell tumour be considered when a bony mass in a sesamoid bone is discovered. Surgical excision at least in our one case was definitive treatment.
我们对一名72岁女性进行了手术，切除了含有巨细胞病变的右拇指籽骨。九年后，她的功能正常，且没有其他病变、复发或转移的迹象。我们建议，当发现籽骨出现骨质肿块时，应考虑诊断为巨细胞修复性肉芽肿和巨细胞瘤。至少在我们的这例病例中，手术切除是一种确定性的治疗方法。
