Alendronate is known for its ability to reduce bone loss in osteoporotic and osseous metastatic conditions. Its long-term effects remain unclear although several reports describe cases of proximal femur stress fractures associated with alendronate use.We report the four women who sustained low-energy subtrochanteric or femoral shaft while being on therapy more than 5 years. All radiographs showed typical patterns consisting a transverse fracture line external cortical reaction medial spike....
AbstractEpidermal cysts are commonly encountered in surgical practice. Malignant degeneration of epidermal sebaceous cyst is uncommon. The authors report the case a 38-year Filipino woman presenting with voluminous left buttock. Ultrasonography and computer tomography were made preoperatively without any hint eventual malignant degeneration. Marginal excision was performed direct closure skin. histological examination revealed squamous cell carcinoma situ, which quite rare, but well known...
Gorham-Stout disease is a rare characterized by anarchic lymphovascular proliferation causing resorption of bone sometimes leading to disastrous complications. Bone tissue progressively replaced angiomatic and lymphangiomatic finally fibrous tissue. This known be ubiquitous complex etiology. We present case the proximal fibula invading tibia soft tissues popliteal space that was successfully treated with radiotherapy zoledronic acid.
Paget's disease is uncommon in patients younger than 50 years of age. Multifocal giant cell tumors arising bone affected by have been described previously 37 cases. A case a 38-year-old man with polyostotic and multifocal responsive to steroid therapy presented.
.Métastasés of thyroid carcinoma to the sternum are not so frequent and ablative surgery enables patients live longer with a better quality life. After such resection, surgical defect has be covered either by autogenous or artificial substitutes.We present 62 years old patient an asymptomatic sternal metastasis poorly differentiated follicular carcinoma. radical excision, including sternum, both clavicular heads upper mediastinal dissection, was reconstructed in two layers, combining Marlex...
SummaryCamurati-Engelmann disease is an uncommon condition, radiologically characterized by symmetric diaphyseal sclerosis involving the tubular bones. Clinical features include limb pain, muscle weakness, waddling gait and sometimes deafness. The evaluation made conjunction of radiographic scintigraphic data. Corticosteroids analgesics improve quality life, decrease pain but do not alter course disease. evolution unpredictable. history a 23 year old male with such disorder presented...
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare mesenchimal tumour mainly characterized by its local aggressiveness and high reported recurrence rates. Classically, wide excisional surgery with at least 3 cm of free tissue margins recommended as treatment. We present series 18 patients variable gross but confirmed histological in all cases whatever the surgical excision really was. Only one patient presented (5.5%) very large (14 cm) sarcomatous variant dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Mean...
Intramuscular myxoma is a rare, benign, mesenchymal tumour. It contains fibroblast-like, histiocyt-like and myofibroblast-like cells in myxoid material. These tumours occur adults between 40 60 years with predilection for women (70%). The incidence varies 0.10 0.13/100.000. They may as an independent lesion or conjunction fibrous dysplasia Albright syndrome. Although only circumstantial features have linked myxoma, the concept of basic metabolic error both tissues during inital growth period...
The survival of patients with bone sarcomas has improved dramatically the advent modern chemotherapeutic regimens, fostering a present trend toward limb sparing procedures. In skeletally immature patients, prosthetic replacement resected bones and joints is unrealistic because continued expected growth in limbs. A stump-lengthening procedure, reduction-rotation-plasty, become valuable alternative to high above-knee amputation. rhombus-shaped skin incision around thigh calf, originally...
