SARCOMATA OF THE HAND SUBSEQUENT TO TRAUMA

Spencer T. Snedecor M.D., F.A.C.S.1

1 Hackensack Hospital, Hackensack

1. Tendon-sheath synovial sarcomata are rare.

2. This diagnosis should be suspected in any soft tissue of the extremities, especially around the joints, tendons, or bursae. Usually, however, it is made by the pathologist after local excision.

3. A single trauma was the reasonable etiological factor in both of the author's cases which were accepted as compensable by the Insurance Company without recourse to judicial action.

4. Trauma may be more of a factor in sarcomata than has previously been suspected.

5. Primary amputation is still the treatment of choice.
