BENIGN BONE AND SOFT-TISSUE TUMORS OF THE EXTREMITIES CAUSING COMPRESSION OF NERVES

Abstract

Objective: Compression of nerves by benign bone and soft tissue tumors comprise an uncommon cause of peripheral neuropathies. We aim to present cases of peripheral nerve compression due to benign bone and soft tissue tumors treated in our clinic.

Methods: We report a case series with a total of 16 patients who were treated in our clinic between 2010 and 2015. Mean age of the patients was 28 (2,5-55). Six of the patients had osteochondroma of the fibular head. The remaining 10 patients had various soft tissue tumors localized at different locations. Patients presented with pure sensory, pure motor, or mixed sensory and motor deficits. Mean duration of follow-up was 38 (11-120) months.

Results: All patients underwent surgical excision and were treated additionally with vitamin supplements. All patients regained function within 1 month post-operatively. There was no recurrence at the end of the follow-up.

Conclusions: Compression by tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis and work-up of peripheral neuropathies. Results are excellent with prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention.

SİNİR BASISI YAPAN BENİGN KEMİK VE YUMUŞAK DOKU TÜMÖRLERİ: CERRAHİ TEDAVİ SONUÇLARIMIZ VE LİTERATÜR DERLEMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Benign kemik ve yumuşak doku tümörlerinin oluşturduğu sinir basıları nadir bir periferik nöropati sebebidir. Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde benign kemik ve yumuşak doku tümörü nedeniyle oluşmuş periferik nöropatili hastalarda uyguladığımız cerrahi tedavilerin sonuçlarını bildirmeyi amaçladık.

Hastalar ve Metod: 2010 ve 2015 yılları arasında kliniğimizde tedavi edilen benign tümöre bağlı sinir basısı oluşmuş 16 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Ortalama yaşları 28 (2,5- 55) idi. Altı hastada fibular sinire bası yapan fibula başı osteokondromu tespit edildi. Geriye kalan 10 hastada çeşitli yerlerde çeşitli yumuşak doku tümöleri tespit edildi. Hastalar ilk başvuruda pür duyusal, pür motor yada her iki nörolojik deficit ile başvurdu. Ortalama takip süremiz 38 (11-120) ay idi.

Sonuçlar: Tüm hastalar tümörün cerrahi eksizyonu ve ek olarak vitamin takviyesi ile tedavi edildi. Bütün hastalar ameliyat sonrası  ortalama 1 ay içerisinde motor ve duyusal fonksiyonu geri kazandılar. Hastaların son takiplerinde nüks izlenmedi.

Çıkarımlar: Periferik nöropati ayırıcı tanısında sinir basısı yapan tümörler unutulmamalıdır. Erken tanı uygun cerrahi tedavi ile mükemmel sonuç elde edilebilir.

Anahtar kelimeler: Nöropati; bening tümörler; osteokondroma; sinir basısı.
