ABSTRACT
Juxta-articular myxoma (JAM) is a rare soft tissue tumour predominantly composed of mucinous tissue and usually found around large joints. We report a 73-year-old woman with a 5-year history of a soft tissue mass in the thenar eminence of the right wrist who presented to our department. An initial diagnosis of a ganglion cyst was made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the jellied content of the mass by aspiration. Two years after presentation, surgical treatment with tumour resection and carpal tunnel release via the radial approach was performed because the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome worsened, and the tumour invaded the carpal tunnel. Histopathological examination revealed a JAM. At the 1-year follow-up, the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome had resolved, and no recurrence was confirmed by MRI. Level of Evidence Level V (Therapeutic).
