Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Wrist Caused by Localized Amyloidosis: A Case Report.
Journal of Hand Surgery Asian-Pacific Volume 2017 December
We report a case of carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger wrist caused by localized amyloidosis. A 37-year-old man, who worked as a manufacturer, presented with a 5-month history of tingling sensation in the three radial fingers of the left hand and a painful click at the volar aspect of the wrist during digital motion. We divided the transverse carpal ligament and detected diffuse tenosynovitis that was especially severe around the flexor digitorum profundus tendons. Histological findings led to a diagnosis of amyloidosis. Localized amyloidosis could thus be a cause of trigger wrist. Systemic amyloidosis may develop in patients with localized amyloidosis; therefore, patients with trigger wrist caused by flexor tenosynovitis should be investigated for the existence of localized amyloidosis, with biopsy of the flexor tenosynovium.
