“Soap Bubble” Lesion of the Middle Phalanx: Enchondroma or Epitheloid Hemangioma
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Epitheloid hemangioma, a benign vascular tumor that arises in skin and soft tissues can also involve the skeletal system. Occasionally this has been reported from small tubular bones of the hand. CASE REPORT Authors report a case of epitheloid hemangioma of the middle phalanx in a young girl without any cutaneous manifestations. The lesion presented as a swollen middle finger, and plain radiographs showed a geographic area of destruction with cortical thinning and intra lesional calcifications. The case was managed by curettage and bone grafting. Histology confirmed this as a case of epitheloid hemangioma. CONCLUSION Epitheloid hemangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hand masses with expansile lytic lesions with cortical thinning.

Curettage Using Soft-wire for Enchondroma in the Hand: A Technical Note
INTRODUCTION Enchondromas are benign bone cartilaginous lesions predominantly seen in the hand, possibly leading to a pathological fracture. When the lesion expands to the whole phalanx, curettage through a small fenestration is difficult. To overcome the problem, soft-wire (cerclage wire) was used as a curette. Soft-wire is commonly used for a tension band wiring method for patellar or olecran...
متن کاملLytic Lesion in the Distal Phalanx of the Hand
Background: Both primary and secondary tumors can develop in distal phalanx of the hand presenting as lytic lesions. The presence of a lytic lesion in the distal phalanx has been a dilemma making the differential diagnoses, prognosis, and treatment of these lesions challenging. Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the patients who were presented with a lytic lesion in their distal ph...

Macrodactyly, defined as enlargement of one or several digits of the hands or feet, is a rare malformation. It may be due tumorous enlargement of a single tissue element, as in hemangioma, lymphangioma or enchondroma or it may be caused by overgrowth of all structures of the digit, including phalanges, subcutaneous tissue, nerves, vessels and skin as in ‘true macrodactyly’(Barsky, 1967). Furthe...
متن کاملGiant cell reparative granuloma of the hallux following enchondroma.
Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is a rare, benign intra osseous lytic lesion occurring especially in gnathis bone but also seen in feet and hands. It has similar clinical and radiological presentations than giant cell tumor, chondroblastoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, and hyperparathyroidism brown tumors but with specific histological findings We report a case of a GCRG of hallux phalanx in 1...
