Article Abstract

Leiomyoma is a generally benign tumour and common in the uterine smooth muscle. In some cases, it is found in other parts of the human body. In our study, we report the case of a 61-year-old woman with a painless cystic lesion on the first left thumb associated with trigger finger. The first diagnostic hypotheses were ganglionic cyst and giant cell tumour, however, after surgical excision and histological analysis, it was revealed to be a rare leiomyoma of the hand. We report a clinical case and detailed histopathological study, with 12 high-resolution images stained with: H&E, Smooth Muscle Actin, Desmin, S-100 and CD34.

Trigger finger, or stenosing tenovaginitis, is a common condition characterized by impaired flexor tendon sliding due to thickening of the A1 pulley. While open surgical release remains the gold standard for the treatment of persistent trigger finger, there is increasing interest in minimally invasive ultrasound-guided techniques to improve precision and outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes, safety, and complications associated with ultrasound-guided trigger finger release using a minimally invasive surgical knife.
