Abstract

Abstract A young man with a 20-year history of agonizing pain arising from a lump which was overlying the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of his left thumb. This was unrelieved by surgery carried out 3 years after the onset of symptoms. Further operation was performed and the lesion proved to be a fibrous histiocytoma. The differential diagnosis is discussed.
