Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive malignancy which can metastasize to the bone. Long bones or the small bones of the limbs could be rarely the destinations for metastatic RCCs. We report two cases of metastatic RCC to the humerus bone with the initial presentation of pathological fracture. The pathologists must be aware of metastatic RCC to the arm and consider it in the differential ...

Camptomelic dwarfism or dysplas1a is a rare syndrome in which· short stature is associated with angulation and bowing of the lower limb Long bones, hypoplasia of the facial bones and scapula and various other skeletal and respiratory and nervous system. A 9 day old girl with this syndrome was admitted in our peiatric Department, Loghman Hospital medical center because of Dwarfism and hypotonia....

The wave propagation modeling in cylindrical human long dry bones with cavity is studied. The dynamic behavior of a dry long bones that has been modeled as a piezoelectric hollow cylinder of crystal class 6 is investigated. An analytic solutions for this mechanical wave propagation in a long dry bones have been obtained for the flexural vibrations. The frequency equation for poroelastic bones i...

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare nonhereditary epiphyseal disease that mimics synovial chondromatosis and osteochondroma of the joints. The disease mainly involves long bones of the lower extremities and tarsal bones. Herein we report 21-year old woman who presented with pain and limited range of ankle motion, who underwent surgical excision of talus exostosis after preoperative imag...

To evaluate the role of gestational protein-energy malnutrition on fetal hard-tissue growth and metabolism, we measured several variables in the growth centres of mandibles and long bones of newborn rats. Control pups and pups of malnourished dams had approximately the same extent of reduction in body-weight, mandibular weight and long-bone weight. The malnourished group had more cells in the m...
