FURTHER OBSERVATION ON A TRANSPOSED METATARSAL BONE

Giant cell reaction of a metatarsal bone: a case report.

A rare, non-neoplastic lesion involving the 1st metatarsal bone in a 5-year-old female is described. Radiographically it presented as a cystic lesion of the whole of the metatarsal. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed it to be a benign giant cell lesion. The tumour was excised en bloc and the metatarsal replaced by a free fibular graft of adequate length. Histopathological examination confir...

Aneurysmal bone cyst of the metatarsal: A case report.

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare, non-neoplastic, destructive, hemorrhagic and expansile lesion accounting for 1% of all bone tumors. This type of lesion predominantly affects long bones and vertebrae. ABC of the metatarsal is rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature to date. The present study reports a rare case of ABC of the third metatarsal occurring in a 27-year...

A Further Note on Runs in Independent Sequences

Given a sequence of letters generated independently from a finite alphabet, we consider the case when more than one, but not all, letters are generated with the highest probability. The length of the longest run of any of these letters is shown to be one greater than the length of the longest run in a particular state of an associated Markov chain. Using results of Foulser and Karlin (19...
