Summary
True palmar aneurysm, a rare hand condition, commonly affects the hypothenar region. A 12-year-old boy with a left palmar hand aneurysm underwent successful surgical excision and vascular reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Aneurysm Research
Background:
- True palmar aneurysm is an exceptionally rare condition affecting the hand.
- Only 12 cases have been documented in Japan, predominantly in the hypothenar region.
Observation:
- A 12-year-old male presented with a left palmar hand aneurysm.
- Clinical diagnosis was confirmed using ultrasound imaging.
- The aneurysm was located in the hypothenar region.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the aneurysm was performed.
- Vascular reconstruction was achieved through end-to-end anastomosis.
- Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a true aneurysm.
Implications:
- This case highlights successful surgical management of a rare pediatric palmar aneurysm.
- Effective diagnosis via ultrasound and reconstruction techniques are crucial.
- Further research into the etiology and treatment of true palmar aneurysms is warranted.
