Enchondroma, reportedly the most common primary tumor of the long bones of the hand, usually develops during the first till fourth decades of life. However, there has no consensus been reached regarding the surgical intervention timing for these patients. We aim to evaluate the optimal surgical intervention timing for the patients with fractures due to enchondromas, investigate the impact of pa...

Over the last decade, Raman spectroscopy was demonstrated as a label-free and destructive optical that able to improve diagnostic accuracy in cancer diagnosis. This ability is principally based on great amount of biochemical information produced by scattering while investigating biological tissues. However, achieve relevant clinical requirements, spectroscopic analysis its grade tissues require...

Giant-cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) occurs in the jaw, temporal bone, and short tubular bones of the hands and feet. Although GCRG can affect long bones, only small numbers of such cases have been sporadically reported. This report describes a giant-cell reparative granuloma in the proximal tibia in a 60-year-old woman, describes features of GCRG in long bones and reviews the literature. A 6...

Background: Both primary and secondary tumors can develop in distal phalanx of the hand presenting as lytic lesions. The presence of a lytic lesion in the distal phalanx has been a dilemma making the differential diagnoses, prognosis, and treatment of these lesions challenging. Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the patients who were presented with a lytic lesion in their distal ph...

INTRODUCTION Cartilaginous tumors involving the small bones of the hands and feet are usually benign such as enchondroma, chondromyxoid fibroma and chondroblastoma. The small bones of the hands and feet are rarely involved by primary chondrosarcoma. Proximal phalanges are the most common sites in the hands, but the fourth digit is the least common site. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a...
