Many options are available in literature for the management of delayed reconstruction following calcanectomy. In cases of low-grade tumor lesions, conservative surgery can be considered. We describe a case of delayed reconstruction by calcaneal allograft after calcanectomy for low-grade chondrosarcoma. At 12-month follow-up, the patient had no pain; MSTS score and AOFAS score were satisfactory....

Calcaneal fractures are rare in children but frequent in adults. We report 18 cases (20 feet) of pediatric calcaneal fractures before the distal tibial growth line closed to assess the characteristics of pediatric calcaneal fractures and reveal differences in treatment and prognosis between children and adults. Twelve (60%) of the fractures were extraarticular, a higher percentage than in adult...

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effect of operative treatment and nonoperative treatment for elderly patients with Sanders II-III calcaneal fractures.The study consisted of 60 patients with Sanders II-III calcaneal fractures who were treated in our institution from January 2007 to April 2012. The clinical effect between the operative treatment group of 32 patients and the nono...

Lipoma is a very common tumor developed in soft tissue like subepithelium, however, intraosseous lipoma developed inside the bone is a quite rare tumor showing less prevalence than 0.1% or 2.5% among primary tumors developed inside the bones. Intraosseous lipoma has been reported to occur usually in metaphyseal or epiphyseal regions of long bones such as femur, tibia, fibula, and calcaneus, but...

Spindle cell lipoma is a relatively rare adipocytic neoplasm, which usually occurs in the posterior neck, shoulder or upper back of male patients aged 45-65 years. We report here an unusual coexistence of ordinary and spindle cell lipoma. The patient presented with a painless mass in the area of the right scapula. Imaging was suggestive of a lipomatous mass, possibly liposarcoma. Histological e...

Lipoma arborescens, a rare benign intra-articular lesion, is characterized by lipomatous proliferation of the synovium in which the subsynovial tissue is replaced by mature adipocytes. Subdeltoid bursa is a rare location for lipoma arborescens, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. This article reports 2 cases of subdeltoid lipoma arborescens combined with rotator cuff tear...

For the past several decades, treatment for calcaneal fractures has been extensively reported on. Some agreement can be reached concerning extra-articular calcaneal fractures. The treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures, however, remains a subject of much debate. The literature concerning this topic is replete with controversy. There is disagreement among authors concerning the treatme...

A pseudo-tail is defined as a tail-like lesion in the lumbosacrococcygeal region that is not a true tail but one caused by disease. Perineal lipoma is one of the conditions that may present as a pseudo-tail. Congenital perineal lipoma is a rare disease and in particular, isolated congenital perineal lipoma without other anomalies is extremely rare. Here we report a case of congenital isolated p...

Chondroid lipoma is a rare and unusual benign soft tissue lesion. Although there have been several reports of the imaging findings of chondroid lipoma, very few described the radiographic calcification or ossification in a chondroid lipoma. We present a case of chondroid lipoma with adipose tissue and ossified components on plain radiography and MRI images. Correlation of imaging findings and p...

Background & Aim: Tethered spinal cord is the most prevalent anatomical deformity, usually diagnosed in childhood. The present study aimed to describe the different anatomo-radiological patterns of the tethered spinal cord with lipoma. Methods & Materials/Patients: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study in the Neurosurgery Department of General Grand Yoff Hospital and the Neurosurgical...
