We report hereby the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with a soft-tissue swelling on the palmar aspect of the thumb. A detailed clinical examination followed by ultrasonography and excisional biopsy confirmed a spindle cell lipoma. Lipomas are rare in the hand and exceptional in the fingers, and we report, to our knowledge, the first spindle cell lipoma in the thumb to help in the differential diagnosis of a similar swelling.

Only 0.5 to 2% of hydatid cysts are localized in the skeleton and of these, 3 to 4% are found in the skull. In this paper, the authors report a case of primary hydatidosis involving the cranial vault revealed by a bulging mass of the forehead and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure that occurred in a 22-year-old woman who came from a rural area. Through this case and literature review, the authors analyse the epidemiological, clinical and radiological aspects of skull hydatidosis. They conclude that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any soft tissue swelling or osteolytic lesion in the scalp of patients living in endemic areas.

Soft Tissue Swelling

When a patient complains of pain confined to a joint or joints, they are said to have arthralgia. If, in addition, there is swelling of the joint, tenderness of the joint line to palpation, and limitation of movement, the patient is said to have an arthritis. It is important to establish if an arthritis is inflammatory or non-inflammatory, as this affects the differential diagnosis. Soft tissue swelling of the joint, the presence of a joint effusion, increased temperature of the joint, erythema of overlying skin, and early morning stiffness of at least 30 minutes duration are signs of an inflammatory arthritis.

Multiple Cyst

Hydatid cyst or cystic echinococcosis in human is rare disease caused by tapeworm Echinococcus granulosa. Hydatid cyst of soft tissue is a rare condition and we had a case of large hydatid cyst in lumbar region. This is a case of 48 years old female presented to us during October 2018 with a large diffuse swelling over the left lumbar region which was gradually grown over the last 2 years without pain. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was not sure even in CT scan but it was in our differential diagnosis. It is confirmed during surgery after seen the multiple cyst removed from the large cystic lesion. No recurrence even after 15 months of follow up. Presence of hydatid cyst in soft tissue is usually rare and its diagnosis is not expected clinically when it presents as a soft tissue swelling. We need to confirm it during surgery or by presence of typical germinal membrane under microscope.

Soft Tissue Swelling

In a prospective investigation the diagnostic accuracy of film-screen and digital radiography in rheumatoid arthritis of hands was compared. Seventy hands of 36 patients with established rheumatoid arthritis were included in the study. Each of 11 joints in every hand was evaluated regarding the following radiologic parameters: soft tissue swelling, joint space narrowing, erosions and periarticular osteopenia. The digital images were obtained with storage phosphor image plates and evaluated in 2 forms; as digital hard-copy on film and on a monitor of an interactive workstation. The digital images had a resolution of either 3.33 or 5.0 lp/mm. ROC curves were constructed and comparing the area under the curves no significant difference was found between the 3 different imaging forms in either resolution group for soft tissue swelling, joint space narrowing and erosions. The film-screen image evaluation of periarticular osteopenia was significantly better than the digital hard-copy one in the 3.33 lp/mm resolution group, but no significant difference was found in the 5.0 lp/mm group. These results support the view that currently available digital systems are capable of adequate diagnostic performance.

AbstractThe main features of stress fractures in Royal Marine recruits are that they occur in normal bones, most often those that are weight bearing. There is no history of injury, but there is usually a history of unaccustomed or more vigorous activity for some weeks before onset. The main symptom is pain on use of the affected part and this pain is relieved by rest. Localised tenderness and soft tissue swelling are present at the fracture site when the affected bone is readily palpable. Radiological changes are absent in the first seven to ten days, but become visible within two months, unless treatment starts or stress ceases early.
