Two cases of arthroscopic retrieval of intra-articular shoulder pathology are presented. With this technique, areas that are often difficult to expose in an open fashion and those previously deemed inaccessible arthroscopically are localized readily. In the setting of intra-articular pathology, thought should be given to the possibility of arthroscopic retrieval or excision before proceeding wi...

intraepiphyseal location of an osteoid osteoma is extremely rare with few cases reported in the literature. they are often present with various atypical and nonspecific clinical features. synovitis of adjacent joint is common and along with chronic inflammation could be misinterpreted as rheumatoid arthritis. initial plain radiographs are often not diagnostic and further radiologic evaluation w...

Abstract Background Osteomas are benign slow-growing tumors, which typically arise on the surface of bone. They rarely from temporal bone, accounting for 0.1–1% all tumors skull. The external auditory canal (EAC) is most common site osteomas in Other extra-canalicular bone uncommon and infrequently reported. In this case report, we discuss clinical presentation surgical management osteoma squam...

The treatment of uncomplicated osteoma consists of an en bloc resection, or curettage, of the tumor, followed by cranioplasty. Here, we present a case report of a patient treated for a parietal osteoma, followed by a calcium phosphate cranioplasty, with early resorption after 3 months, which was presented by a sinking flap above the resection area. This case suggests that synthetic cranioplasty...

Osteoid osteoma of the scapula is a rare benign lesion. This is a case report of a subchondral osteoid osteoma that involved the anterior rim of glenoid. Surgical approach in this atypical area may seem difficult. The excision of the lesion and grafting was performed by a deltopectoral approach. One year after the surgery, the patient remains pain free and has full range of motion with no recur...

conclusions to our knowledge in the literature up to now there are only nine reports of coracoid osteoid osteoma. these cases were treated with different approaches and different techniques. we used en-bloc resection via mini-anterior approach. our patient 30 months after surgery (october 2012) have full range of motion and became pain free since wound healing with normal control imaging.defini...

  Background : The hand and wrist bones are infrequent sites for osteoid osteoma, and its diagnosis can be difficult. This paper reports 25 cases of osteoid osteoma in the hand and wrist.   Methods : Records of the 25 patients who had pathological conditions of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist were reviewed and analyzed.   Results : Twenty-five cases of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wris...

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor occurring very rarely in the pleura. We herein report the case of 67-year-old man with asbestos exposure, who underwent biopsies of the large tumor from the chest wall, and diagnosed as a suspicious of fibrosarcoma. Surgical resection was done, and the pathological diagnosis was extraskeletal osteosarcoma arising from the pleura. The differen...

Patellar tendinopathy is characterized by activity-related anterior knee pain. It is most commonly related to sports activity, but has also been reported in the non-athletic population. Most injuries are caused by microtrauma, resulting in tendinitis or tendinosis. Extraskeletal paraarticular osteochondromas, which occur in the soft tissues near the joint, are rare. The infrapatellar fat pad an...
