Colonic intussusception is a rare complication of colonic lipoma. This study presents an unusualcase symptomatic lipoma the transverse colon, causing andlower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. A 53 year-old female was admitted to Bushenge ProvincialHospital, Rwanda, with episodes intermittent pain, vomiting, and bloody mucoid stool. Physicalexamination revealed distended abdomen, tenderness mucous f...

Abstrac: 75% of calcaneal fractures are intra articular. Treating calcaneal fractures is a challenge for orthopaedic surgeon due to the complex fracture pathology. A wide range of treatment options varying from non operative to operative methods are available. The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcome of surgically treated intrarticular calcaneal fractures along with certain...

Intracranial lipomas are rare lesions. Intracranial lipoma associated with a subcutaneous lipoma is extremely rare. Various vascular abnormalities have been described in association with intracranial lipoma, including distension, kinking, or narrowing of arteries and veins; arteriovenous malformation; and aneurysm. To our knowledge, association of sagittal sinus fenestration, falcine sinus, and...

Hallux varus can present as a congenital deformity or it can be acquired secondary to trauma, surgery, or neuromuscular disease. In the present report, we describe the presence of hallux varus as a sequela of calcaneal fracture with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve in the calcaneal tunnel and recommend that clinicians be wary of this when they clinically, and radiographically, evaluate pa...

Horse shoe shaped lipoma of the upper extremity is a very rare entity. We present a case of 45 years old female who presented with painless progressive swelling over the distal forearm and tingling and numbness over the ulnar nerve territory. MRI and surgical exploration showed a horse shoe shaped multilobulated lipoma encasing the distal ulna. The mass was excised in toto, and the sensory alte...

BACKGROUND To characterize the histological changes within the posterior calcaneal cartilage in patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) and test the relationships between severity of the histological changes and level of functional impairment. METHODS Sixteen posterior calcaneal wall specimens of patients with IAT who had posterior calcaneal ostectomy were investigated. Hematoxy...

BACKGROUND Lipoma in nasal region in a case of Pai syndrome is very rare. Very few cases of Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with extension to septum and tip have been reported till date. CASE PRESENTATION We report a very rare form of nasal lipoma in a case of Pai syndrome with extension to septum and tip in a 4 year old female child. CONCLUSIONS Pai syndrome with columellar lipoma with...

The management of calcaneal fractures range from closed treatment to open reduction internal fixation with different fixation. The radiological and functional outcome of 15 closed intra-articular Sander’s type II and III calcaneal fractures fixed with locking calcaneal plate by extensile lateral approach was done. Properly selected cases with proper timing of surgery accepted results in both cl...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate how bone mineral density in the calcaneus measured by a dual energy X-ray laser (DXL) correlates with bone mineral density in the spine and hip in Turkish women over 40 years of age and to determine whether calcaneal dual energy X-ray laser variables are associated with clinical risk factors to the same extent as axial bone mineral density measurements obtained using dual ...

UNLABELLED Pleomorphic lipoma is a relatively uncommon entity, and is considered as a variant of spindle cell lipoma. Histologically, spindle cell lipoma/pleomorphic lipoma consists of varying quantity of mature fat, bland spindle cells and ropey collagen. In addition, pleomorphic lipoma is characterized by multinucleate giant cells, which possess the "floret-like" nuclei and marked pleomorphis...
