Abstract:
We described the case of a 42-year-old man who presented with left index finger mass persisting for 6 months. The mass was small and, painless and had gradually increased in size with limited finger flexion. Physical examination showed a firm mass over the volar surface of the left index finger. There was no tenderness, redness, warmth or punctum. The overlying skin was normal, and the mass did not transilluminate. Further examination of the head and neck, chest, upper limbs and neurovascular system revealed normal findings. No similar masses were found elsewhere in the body. Bedside ultrasound with further investigation and management confirmed the suspected diagnosis.
