HighlightsRice bodies are highly suggestive of tuberculous tenosynovitis and rarely found among non-tuberculosis patients.Synovial chondromatosis and pigmented Villonodular synovitis are differential diagnosis.MRI and routine histopathological examination are useful to establish the diagnosis.In our case, the key problem was the etiology of these rices bodies.
Highlights
Bilateral posterior hip dislocations are very rare injury, resulting from high energy trauma.
After elimination of vital emergencies and radiological assessment, reduction must be rapid within 6 h.
Post reduction CT-scan is essential to analyze the femoral head and the hip joint congruity.
In case of irreducibility or associated Pipkin’s fracture, an open approach is indicated.
The main complications are avascular necrosis, heterotopic ossification, and posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath of the ha nd present a very rare entity, o nly two percent of all reported Giant cell tumors are found in the hand, several hypotheses were formulated about the etiological factors of these tumors, but still there is not a common opinion on etiology, prognostic factors and recurrence rate . We repor t a rare case of giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath the second finger in 55 - year - old women, which was treated with extended curettage. After one year of follow - up, the patient was asymptomatic with complete functional recovery and no signs of recurrenc e.
Hydatid disease is an infestation caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which is still widespread in temperate zone countries. The muscoloskeletal localisation is extremely rare and represents a major challenge for surgeons because there are few cases reported in the literaturel. We report a case of a 30-year-old man with no medical antecedants, living in a rural area with a primary hydatid cyst located in the intermuscular space front of the arm.
Introduction : Myxomas are rare benign tumors of soft tissue, represent 1% of adult cancers, they are most often located in the intramuscular compartment, particularly in the thigh. They are most often observed in elderly patients between fifth and seventh decade, particularly females.Case report : We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a painless and several years progressive mass of the medial aspect of the left thigh. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has showed a tissue mass with cystic lesion. In addition, histopathological diagnosis of the specimen was in favor of an intramuscular myxoma without signs of malignancy. Short and long-term follow-up of two years did not detect any recurrence.Conclusion : The slowly growing character is not an argument of benignity, in contrast to other situations. Therefore, the myxoid component may be present in other soft tissue malignant tumors, specially liposarcoma. This difficulty sometimes imposing more specimen verification or a second opinion. Although myxomas are rare, it is important to keep them in mind when a myxoid component is present and distinguish them from sarcomas.
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.
