Osteoblastoma of the Os Capitatum

An osteoblastoma is a primary benign bone tumor, which is rarely seen in hand bones. Osteoblastoma is generally seen in spine, pelvis, and long bones. However, there are a few case reports of osteoblastoma in wrist and hand bones. To our knowledge, up to now, only one male patient with osteoblastoma in capitate bone was reported. We report the first female case of osteoblastoma of capitate bone and discuss diagnosis and treatment.

Medial Cuneiform

A unicameral bone cyst is a relatively uncommon, benign bone tumor found in the metaphysis of long bones, such as the humerus and the femur, in skeletally immature persons. In the foot, these benign, fluid-filled cavities are most commonly found within the os calcis. We present a case report of a 10-year-old female with a unicameral bone cyst of the medial cuneiform.

Metaphyseal Region

The most frequent benign bone tumor is osteochondroma, which account for 45 percent of all benign bone tumours. Although not a real neoplasm, osteochondroma (exostosis) is the most common lesion and is often classed as a tumour. The majority of them develop in the metaphyseal region of long bones like the femur and tibia. A 21-year-old female presented to the orthopedic OPD with complaints of pain and swelling over dorsal spine since 2 years with left upper limb radiculopathy since 1 month. Pain was insidious in onset which started 1 month back and it aggravated ever since. On inspection swelling present over paraspinal region of approximately 5cm in length and 4cm in width. On palpation swelling was not adherent to skin, immobile and firm in consistency. Osteochondroma represent the most common bone tumor accounting for 20 to 50% of all benign osseous tumors. In osteochondroma maintaining mobility is important for activities of daily living and to maintain the quality of life. Physiotherapy plays a significant role in maintaining the mobility and improving the quality of life.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and is known to occur mainly in the metaphyses of long bones. However, a few cases of osteosarcoma in talus have been reported in older patients. We experienced an osteosarcoma of an 80-year-old male patient with a talus which is rarely reported and evaluated disease patterns with four different imaging modalities.

Primary chondromyxoid fibroma is a benign bone tumor. Its localization in the sternum is quite rare; we found only 6 relevant reports. We report our diagnosis and treatment of a chondromyxoid fibroma in the sternum of a 63-year-old woman. The patient underwent subtotal sternectomy and chest-wall reconstruction with use of a titanium rib bridge system and Prolene mesh. The patient's clinical course was uneventful, and she had no local recurrence 41 months postoperatively. Our review herein of the 6 previous cases reveals that our patient is the oldest thus far to have been diagnosed with a sternal chondromyxoid fibroma.

Surgical Indications

Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor and is characterized as a cartilage-capped bony stalk. This lesion usually develops from the growth plate of long bones. Most osteochondromas are asymptomatic. Neurovascular compressions or cosmetic issues can occur in specific locations. Malignant transformation is extremely rare, and MRI can help evaluate these lesions. Symptomatic mass and malignancy features are the main surgical indications. Uncommonly, an osteochondroma can develop from flat bones. We present the case of a 25-year-old patient with a right scapula osteochondroma causing an accessory nerve compression. The mass was surgically removed, and the diagnosis was confirmed. The patient fully recovered at the latest 3-year follow-up visit.

Verrucous carcinoma of the scrotum is an extremely rare disease and most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic inflammation. Currently, it has not been well characterized, the etiology, diagnosis and treatment remaining poorly understood. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma of the right hemiscrotum. Wide surgical excision was performed. Favorable outcomes can be achieved by surgery, even without any adjuvant therapy, but patients should be carefully followed up.

Artery Branch

Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital anomaly where a coronary artery branch or group of branches extends inside a tunnel consisting of myocardium. Although it is mostly considered “benign,” it is reported that MB may lead to significant cardiac problems and sudden cardiac deaths. While it is a congenital anomaly, its symptoms usually arise at further ages rather than childhood. The literature on MB in children is in the form of case reports or small case series. This is why pediatric cases are assessed in the light of information obtained from adults. This review compiled the literature on MB in adults and children and compared it, as well as discussing questions arising regarding the clinic, diagnosis, and treatment of MB.
