[Finger fibrosarcoma. A case report].
The hand is a rare site of fibrosarcoma. We report one case in a fifty two year old female patient, presenting with a two-year history of an ulcerated tumor of the palmar aspect of the right index finger. The X Ray showed severe erosion of the 2nd phalanx. Because of the large volume of the tumor, a proximal amputation of the 2nd finger was performed. Histological examination concluded on a fibrosarcoma which was completely resected. No signs of recurrence or distant metastasis were seen after 8 months. The frequency of fibrosarcoma in the hand is 2.7 to 5.3%. These tumors are rarely located in the soft tissues of the hand. The treatment is essentially surgical based on a carcinological resection, which represents the only way to avoid recurrence, which is evaluated to be 12% after amputation.
