Abstract
|
|
|
|
A digital mucous cyst is a benign, non-inflammatory disease frequently observed on the dorsal aspect of the fingers and toes. Multiple punctures with extraction of the cyst contents and intralesional steroid injections are the suggested treatments. However, this approach has shown a high failure and recurrence rate. Cryotherapy has had a better success rate but it is a more painful procedure. Surgical excision of the communicating tract between the cyst and joint has been reported to have the highest cure rate but it requires highly skilled surgery, and the surgery has the risk of severe complications including contractures of the joints and acquired nail deformity. We report three patients with digital mucous cysts treated by sclerotherapy without complications.
