MSK path XI Flashcards
ganglions synovial cysts and osteochondral loose bodies form from what
trauma or degenerative processes
what is a ganglion
1-1.5 cm cyst usually near joint capsule or tendon sheath
usually around wrist
what causes ganglion cyst
cystic or myxoid degeneration of CT
lacks cell lining
do ganglion cysts communicate with joint space
no
what can cause synovial cyst
herniation of synovium though joint capsule or massive enlargement of bursa
what is a baker cyst
synovial cyst in popliteal space in RA
synovial lining in synovial vyst
hyperplastic and contain inflammatory cells and fibrin
what do ganglion and synovial cysts feel like
soft squishy
what is a tenosynovial giant cell tumor
closely related benign neoplasms that develop in synovial lining of joints, tendon sheaths and bursae
clinical variants tenosynovial giant cell tumors
diffuse type- pigmented villonodular synovitis)
localized type- giant cell tumor of tendon sheath
diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumors form where
large joints
localized type tenosynovial giant cell form where
discrete nodule attached to tendon sheat (commonly the hand)
Dx age for tenosynovial giant cell tumors
20-40s
color diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumors
red brown, orange yellow
red brown stripes or folds “tiger stripe”
infiltrate subsynovial tissue
localized type tenosynovial giant cell shape
well circumscribed
diffuse type tenosynovial giant cell type presents where
knee then hip, ankle, and calcaneocuboid joints
Sx diffuse type tenosynovial giant cell
pain, locking and recurrent swelling similar to monoarticular arthritis
what limits ROM in joint in tenosynovial giant cell tumors
tumor progression
characteristics of localized type tenosynovial giant cell tumor
solitary, slow growing, painless
usually tendon sheaths on wrists and fingers
most common mesenchymal neoplasm of hand
localized type tenosynovial giant cell
