  • Title: Soft-tissue tumors of the hand and wrist of children.
    Author: Azouz EM, Kozlowski K, Masel J.
    Journal: Can Assoc Radiol J; 1989 Oct; 40(5):251-5. PubMed ID: 2637693.
    Abstract:
    We report 23 children with soft-tissue tumors of the hand and wrist. Tumors of blood and lymph vessel origin accounted for nine patients; giant-cell tumors of tendon sheaths and tumoral calcinosis occurred in four patients each and soft-tissue chondroma in three. Synovial osteochondromatosis and aggressive fibromatosis were each represented by one patient. Finally, there was one child with a malignant soft-tissue tumor, an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the hand. Hand and wrist ganglia were excluded. Imaging methods used in investigating hand and wrist lesions are discussed but plain radiography remains the first and often only examination necessary.
