INTRODUCTION Incomplete intralesional curettage remains the most important factor contributing to the recurrence of the GCT tumor. A 360 degree view of the tumor cavity can be achieved with the help of an arthroscope, which can aid complete intralesional curettage. CASE REPORT This technical note describes the use of arthroscope assisted curettage of the distal femur GCT. CONCLUSION Use of ...

The causes for the painful heel around the Achilles tendon are Achilles tendinitis and retrocalcaneal bursitis. The treatment modalities range from simple NSAID’s, hot water fomentation, ultrasound phonopheresis, and intralesional steroids to surgery. There is a debate on giving intralesional steroids in and around the Achilles tendon. Most common complication of intralesional corticosteroids i...

PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intralesional bleomycin sclerotherapy in the treatment of lymphangioma in children and to determine the incidence of complications in the treatment. METHODS This is a retrospective study of 24 children diagnosed with lymphangioma and treated with intralesional injection of bleomycin aqueous solution from January 1999 to December 2004. ...

We undertook this retrospective study to determine the rate of recurrence and functional outcome after intralesional curettage for chondroblastoma of bone. The factors associated with aggressive behaviour of the tumour were also analysed. We reviewed 53 patients with histologically-proven chondroblastoma who were treated by intralesional curettage in our unit between 1974 and 2000. They were fo...

application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The authors did not mention intralesional PDT, a seldom used technique which potential, though, is in our opinion underrecognized and underestimated. As shown in table 1 , intralesional PDT has been reported to be an effective and safe treatment for skin metastases of breast cancer [2] , superficial and nodular basal-cell carcinoma [3, 4, 6, 7] , squam...

Although New World cutaneous leishmaniasis is not itself a life-threatening disease, its treatment with systemic antimonials can cause toxicity that can be dangerous to some patients. Intralesional meglumine antimoniate provides a viable, less toxic alternative. Herein, we describe an alternative treatment with subcutaneous intralesional injections of meglumine antimoniate into large periarticu...

Background and aim: Warts are the most common clinical presentation of human papilloma virus infection of human skin and mucosa. They are more common on hand, foot, face and genital area. They are benign skin colour lesions with different clinical forms. There is no specific treatment for them. In this trial the therapeutic effect of intralesional injection of bleomycin and cryotherapy on...

Background: Mucocele is a clinical term referring to a swelling caused by saliva accumulation at the site of an obstructed or traumatized minor salivary gland duct. This article reports the efficiency of intralesional corticosteroid injection in the treatment of a recurrent oral mucocele in a pediatric patient. Case presentation: A 7-year-old girl presented with the chief complaint of a painle...

Background: Oral Submucous Fibrosis is a potentially malignant disorder well known for its chronic and resistant nature. The conservative drug treatment that is currently available for this disorder is clearly inadequate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral lycopene therapy when used in combination with conventional intralesional steroid therapy in the management of oral s...
