Following median and ulnar nerves, peroneal nerve entrapment is the most frequent nerve involvement in the body Katirji and Wilbourn (1998) [1]. Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors comprising 9% of all bone tumors and 35% of benign bone tumors Porter (2000) [2]. Hereditary exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance characterized by multiple ost...

Histologically, osteochondromas are hamartomas developed from endochondral ossification which are coated with a thin cartilage layer [1]. Epidemiologically, these are the most frequent benign tumor, after nonossifying fibromas and metaphyseal lacunae, representing, in the Unni series [2], about 40 % of all benign tumors, and they are located preferentially at the metaphyseal level of long bones...

Heterotopic ossification of the xiphoid process is extremely rare, with only three cases previously reported. However, the surgical pathology for postoperative elongation of the xiphoid process after abdominal surgery has not yet been reported. We report a case of the postoperative elongation of the xiphoid process, 8 years after abdominal surgery for traumatic hemoperitoneum in a 53-year-old m...

HS in 2 month-old tibial growth plates from WT (AB) and Ext1Ext2 mutants (C-D). Note that staining is much stronger in WT(A) than mutant tissue (C). Background staining in control sections is shown in (B) and (D). gp, growth plate; bm, bone marrow.

Bony exostoses such as mandibular tori are fairly common. They are asymptomatic, benign cortical bony protuberances occurring along the lingular aspect of the mandible. Large tori may interfere with direct laryngoscopy resulting in difficult intubation. This is a case report about a 66 year old, Caucasian male with a Mallampati class I airway who was un-intubatable initially, due to the presenc...
