The conclusion of the CT says that: A postoperative step deformation of the proximal epimetaphysis of the metacarpal bone on the rear surface with a cartilaginous small formation of 1 mm by the type of exostosis, density up to +620 HU was determined. There is no danger to my hand, but in order for it to function properly this deformation has to be removed. Best re ls, On 25 Dec 2017, at 14:15, wrote: Dear Sir, I have some unpleasant news. I've had a condition called Giant-cell tumor of the bone or (osteoblastoclastoma) at the age of 11. Had a 5 hour surgery to remove it and after my bone was grown back with medical cement. I Was aware that it could metastasize in very rare cases. Approximately a month ago I found a lump in my hand which was hurting and growing, but had to return to school. For the last 3 weeks I was afraid that I might have to amputate my left arm. That it was cancer. That my life could be in danger. You can not imagine in what state I was all this time. I was suffering from thoughts so dark, that obviously I was mentally in distress. When I returned to Russia, I've been getting tests done. CT scan, roentgen, visited a few different traumatologists. It's not oncology thank God, but that overgrowth still has to be surgically removed. They say it's EFTA00937034 Multiple exostosis of the base of the metacarpal region which has to be surgically removed. Tomorrow I'll have the operation at 7:30 am. 5 week recovery.
