Lipoma is rarely found in the foot. It is usually asymptomatic although sometimes can present with pain. We report a case of lipoma of the sinus tarsi presenting with functional instability.
Vascular leiomyoma is a rare soft tissue lesion in the upper limbs. We reported a case of vascular leiomyoma in a 77-year-old female. It presented with a large painless slow growing lesion in the finger, which had grown to size up to 4 × 3 cm. X-ray and MRI were performed pre-operatively. Surgical excision was performed and the histological findings confirm the diagnosis.
Bilateral hip dislocation is a rare condition. We report a case of traumatic bilateral hip dislocation and unilateral sciatic nerve palsy in a young woman with known idiopathic scoliosis. With prompt reduction of the dislocated hips, there was reasonable neurological recovery. There was no avascular necrosis of the femoral head or post-traumatic arthritis up to 3-year follow-up. The gender difference in incidence, as well as the predisposition of hip dislocation in scoliosis is discussed. In our case, the decreased femoral anteversion was the culprit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
