| Popis: | Background Total wrist arthroplasty can lead to a variation of complications. One of these is the formation of a pseudotumor. Although this complication is well known after total hip arthroplasty, it is rare in patients with wrist implants. Case Description A 55-year-old man with a Universal 2 (Integra, Plainsboro, NJ) wrist prosthesis was seen with a progressive mass on the radial side of his wrist since 1 year, initially suspicious for a neoplasm. However, after exploration, histopathology confirmed a particle-induced foreign body reaction. Literature Review There is little literature on pseudotumor formation after total wrist arthroplasty. Currently, there is no clear consensus about the etiology of pseudotumors but possible causes may include foreign body reaction, hypersensitivity, and wear debris. Clinical Relevance This case report shows that particle debris-induced pseudotumors should be considered when a patient with a wrist prosthesis presents with a mass suspicious for a neoplasm. In addition, treatment options of pseudotumors after wrist arthroplasty in literature is discussed. |
