Flexor Pollicis Longus

Congenital absence of the flexor pollicis Iongus, associated with hypoplasia of the thumb, is an unusual anomaly. A case of congenital absence of the flexor pollicis longus without hypoplasia or aplasia of the thumb and thenar muscles, which is described, is very rare. Surgical treatment for the transfer of the ring finger flexor superficialis tendon to provide the thumb interphalangeal joint with flexion resulted in a significant improvement in pinch.

We report a rare case of absence of the flexor pollicis longus in a hypoplastic right thumb, without hypoplasia of the thenar muscles in an 11-year-old girl, who was treated by transfer of flexor digitorum superficialis of the ring finger to the thumb to achieve active flexion at the interphalangeal joint of the thumb.

In this paper, we report a case of a 23-year-old male patient with bilateral absence of the flexor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis brevis muscles with an intact functioning opponens pollicis and flexor pollicis longus muscles with bilateral thenar atrophy due to its rarity. All physical, neurological, ultrasonographic, direct radiographic, electromyographic and MRI studies were used to confirm and document this congenital anomaly.

We report on a three-year-old girl with a severely enlarged right ring finger, which was diagnosed as macrodactyly simplex congenita. This was treated by epiphysial resection and osteosynthesis of the distal interphalangeal joint, longitudinal and transverse osteotomy of the phalanges, and soft tissue coverage using palmar proximal and dorsal distal flaps taken from the original oversised finger.

Benign Tumours

Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumours of mesodermal origin. Even though various localizations of hemangioma have been described in the literature, its occurrence in the greater omentum is very rare. Only symptomatic hemangiomas are indicated for surgical treatment. There are case reports presenting resection or surgical removal of the greater omentum with hemangioma because of mechanical syndrome, consumption coagulopathy, bleeding, infection or suspicion of a malignancy. This article presents a case report of a patient operated on for a suspicion of carcinomatosis of the greater omentum. Histological examination found hemangiomatosis in the resected greater omentum.
