In a paper published three years ago on the histological diagnosis of thrombotic purpura during life I reported three cases in which the characteristic thrombotic microangiopathy was present in biopsy material (Symmers, 1956). In one of the cases the vascular lesions were found in the basal stratum of the endometrium and in endocervical fragments in a specimen obtained by curettage: the operati...

The authors present a case of extensive biopsy proven giant cell tumour of the distal femur in a 27 years-old man revealed by a trauma. He was treated by classic curettage-graft and additional simple cast immobilization instead of internal fixation to prevent the collapse of the fragile affected condyle after curettage. The functional outcome of the knee is satisfactory after one year of follow...

To discuss the management options of retained products of conception (RPOC) with increased vascularity where simple dilatation and curettage may lead to life threatening haemorrhage and endanger the life of the patient. We present a series of three cases that had RPOC with hyper vascularity and were managed with different approaches. A brief review of management options is discussed. Out of thr...

We report a case of a symptomatic unicameral (simple) bone cyst of the lunate in a 42-year- old woman. The lesion was treated with curettage and cancellous autogenous iliac bone grafting. At five years of follow-up the wrist was pain free, there were no limitations of motion, and the radiographs showed complete obliteration of the cavity. To the best of our knowledge, no other unicameral bone c...
