XXXX of the index finger: a case report.

@entity83 @entity1 @entity2287 @entity5
We report a case of @entity83 arising from the index finger. The @entity1 , a 62-year-old @entity1 , noticed the @entity5 in his right index finger about 30 years ago. X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 5-cm calcified soft-tissue @entity5 on the radial side of the proximal phalanx without any destruction of the cortex. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed iso-signal intensities on T1-weighted image (WI), spotted high-signal intensities on T2 WI and no enhanced areas after @entity2287 injection. Because these studies could not definitively determine whether the @entity5 was benign or malignant, we performed a needle biopsy. As we suspected @entity83 , we performed a marginal excision. The @entity5 adhered to the A1 pulley. Pathological diagnosis was @entity83 , as expected. Approximately 80% of @entity83 arise in hands or feet. Most reported cases are <3  cm. Literature review failed to uncover any cases @entity5 in our @entity1 .
