Patient's question:
A 11-year-old boy, with magnetic resonance imaging of the nail bed at the base of the middle toe of the foot.Findings: Below the interphalangeal joint of the middle and distal phalanges of the right third toe, there is a well-defined, oval, isointense T1 and T2 abnormal signal in the soft tissue, with a size of approximately 0.1 0.6 cm. No obvious abnormal signals were observed in the composite bone.
Impression: A soft tissue mass below the interphalangeal joint of the middle and distal phalanges of the right third toe is present, with a benign nature being the primary consideration, and a high possibility of a hemangioma.
Is it serious? How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be an angioma. Angiomas are benign tumors, some of which grow slowly and rarely become malignant, but some angiomas have a malignant growth trend and should be taken seriously. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment, as it is relatively effective, while drug treatment is ineffective.
