The authors present two cases of hyperplasia of Pacinian corpuscles, one in the hand and another in the foot. In the hand the corpuscles were located along the radial border of the pulp of the little finger and presented with localised sharp pain. In the foot, it presented as metatarsalgia in association with Morton's neuroma of the second web space. Both patients underwent exploration and exci...

Introduction: This study was launched to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of 99mTc-Ciprofloxacin to distinguish infection foci induced by staphylococcus aureus and inflammation lesions induced by carrageenan in the rat foot in comparison with 67Ga-Citrate scintigraphy. Methods: The labeling and quality control of 99mTc-Ciprofloxacin kits have been perfo...

Nerve sheath myxomas (NEUROTHEKEOMA) are uncommon tumors of nerve sheet origin. These tumors most frequently arise from in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck, and upper extremities. Neurothekeoma may be either asymptomatic or may present as a painful raised, skin colored, well circumscribed dermal lesion averaging 1 cm in diameter. This entity is especially rare in the foo...

A case of focal inferior limb sensory-motor status epilepticus as the only manifestation of a multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse is described. To obtain evidence of the relationship between the seizures, the cortical plaque and the left foot motor area, an EEG-fMRI co-registration study was undertaken demonstrating that seizure-related BOLD signal substantially overlapped with the inflammatory les...

475 subcutaneous layer. The lesion was extirpated and closed primarily. Macroscopically, there was the typical appearance of the epidermal cyst with a white cystic wall and cheesy material (Fig. 2). The histopath­ ological section showed that it was an epidermal cyst (Fig. 3). A 15­year­old girl was referred for treatment of a palpable lesion that had been on the sole of her left foot for 2 mon...

A smooth muscle hamartoma is a benign proliferation of smooth muscle bundles within the dermis. It arises from smooth muscle cells that are located in arrector pili muscles, dartos muscles, vascular smooth muscles, muscularis mammillae and the areolae. Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma (ASMH) is rare, with only 10 such cases having been reported in the English medical literature to date. Most of...

The prevalence of melanoma is rapidly increasing [1,2] and therefore more patients are being evaluated by surgeons for treatment of this tumor. A main component of the treatment of primary melanoma involves wide local excision (WLE) of the primary lesion or of the biopsy scar with adequate margins [1–8]. Although this may seem to be a simple task on certain areas of the body, such as the back, ...

Verrucous carcinoma of the foot often affects deep structures such as tendons, muscles, or bones. A 74-year-old man presented with a foot lesion that had been diagnosed as a skin infection 7 years earlier. He was treated with multiple excisions and superficial biopsies associated with antibiotic therapy without success. In our department he underwent an aggressive and accurate debridement with ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of SPECT/CT and MRI in patients with ankle and foot pain, with regard to the lesion types. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive patients with ankle and foot pain, who underwent 99mTc-MDP SPECT/CT and MRI, were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Symptomatic lesions were determined based on clinical examination ...

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging has opened new horizons in the diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases ankle foot is useful to confirm presence extent a soft tissue mass determine precise anatomic location, which aids surgery; some cases, appearance specific for particular lesion. Purpose Study: Our aim was study various findings neoplastic lesions foot. Results: ...
