Introduction/Cases. Two pediatric patients presenting with benign bone tumors of the distal femur at the level of the suprapatellar fat pad developed late onset recurrent knee hemarthrosis following surgical treatment of the lesions. A sinus tract from the intramedullary bone to the knee capsule was discovered in both patients during surgical exploration. Resection of the sinus tract and full closure of the knee capsule resulted in no further recurrence. Conclusion. Postoperative knee effusions in patients following resection near the distal femur could represent hemarthrosis that require additional workup and treatment. Resection of the sinus tract successfully treats the hemarthrosis.

Life Threatening

Vascular injuries after a clavicle fracture are rare. The treatment remains, if possible, conservative. In case of life-threatening bleeding or limb ischemia, endovascular treatment is the treatment of choice. In this case report, we describe a patient who suffered a clavicle fracture five years before and now presented with acute invalidating claudication caused by an acute occlusion superimposed on a brachial artery stenosis. After unsuccessful thrombolytic therapy a surgical exploration of the brachial artery was performed.

Clinicopathologic Findings

Abstract Osteoblastoma is a rare benign bone tumor. Although the histologic features in most cases are distinctive, there are various permutations that make the diagnosis challenging. It can mimic a variety of other benign bone tumors, but more importantly, distinguishing it from osteoblastoma-like osteosarcoma can be difficult. In this case report, I describe the clinicopathologic findings for a 13-year-old adolescent boy with T7 spinal osteoblastoma and review salient clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of osteoblastoma, as well as the differential diagnoses.

Cartilaginous Tumors

Bone tumors, including benign and malignant lesions, are not metastatic; however, they may appear in any part of the body skeleton. Distal femur and proximal tibia (around the knee joint) are the most prevalent sites. Most benign bone tumors are cartilaginous tumors, known as osteochondromas. Based on the reports, benign bone tumors are more frequent than primary malignant ones. Malignant bone tumor is another type of bone tumor, which usually occurs within the first years of life. As a result, it can considerably affect the lives of patients and their families. These tumors consist of osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma. This article discusses the epidemiology, characteristics, and treatment of the most important types of benign and malignant bone tumors. These data will be useful to the physicians and other health workers to better understand the conditions of bone tumors and their management.

Osteochondromas are benign bone tumors that arise from divergent cartilage formation most commonly in childhood versus adulthood. We report the case of a 42-year-old healthy female who presented with a unusual solitary posterolateral ankle mass with associated pain and ankle impingement with 6 weeks follow up. The patient was successfully treated with open surgical excision with bone with pathology diagnosis of benign osteochondroma. The patient returned to normal baseline function with no pain at 6 weeks follow up. Open posterior ankle incision approach performed to remove suspicious enlarged bony growth from posterior talar process sent to pathology. Pathology report returned benign osteochondroma of the posterior talar process and patient subsequently had routine healing of post op incision site and return to full function without pain or disability at 6 weeks follow up. This case study adds to the current understanding, incidence, occurrence, and treatment of rare osteochondromas occurring in the posterior talar process.

Rare Situation

Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors which are mostly seen in the metaphysis of distal femur, proximal tibia, and proximal humerus. As arising from flat bones such as scapula is a rare case, intra-articular osteochondroma is also rare. When the literature is searched it appeared that the scapula and shoulder joint are an uncommon site for osteochondroma. We present a case in which a patient had an osteochondroma placed in shoulder joint and originated from scapula which is a rare situation determined in the literature.

High Index Of Suspicion

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor, which represents approximately 10% of all benign bone tumors. When localized to the carpus, osteoid osteomas are most often seen in the scaphoid and capitate. Rarely, these tumors can also be observed in the trapezium. Given the infrequency with which osteomas are located in the trapezium and often nonspecific presenting symptoms, diagnosis of this tumor can be challenging and requires a high index of suspicion.

A case report on a 49-year-old female with diagnoses of ocular hypertension in her left eye (LE) treated with 250 mg/day acetazolamide for 2 years. During the slit-lamp examination, complete occlusion of both iridocorneal angles was detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 and 35 mmHg in the right eye and LE, respectively. Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in the LE. After 1 month of the procedure, the patient developed a slowly progressive miopization from −1 to −3 diopters (D) the following months. Approximately 3 months after surgery, the patient developed an episode of acute pain, athalamia, and IOP 45 mmHg in her LE. Late-onset malignant glaucoma was suspected and the patient was treated with topical hypotensive and cycloplegic agent until a prompt vitrectomy was performed. Deepening of the anterior chamber and restoration of IOP to normal range was obtained after surgery.

Introduction: Congenital as well as acquired diseases may be responsible for the development of a megacolon. In adult patients, Clostridium difficile associated infection as well as late-onset of Morbus Hirschsprung disease are known to cause a megacolon. In addition, malignant as well as benign colorectal strictures may lead to intestinal dilatation. In case of an idiopathic megacolon, the underlying cause remains unclear. Case Presentation: We describe the case of a 44-year-old male patient suffering from a long history of chronic constipation. He presented himself with an obscurely dilated large intestine with bowel loops up to 17 centimeters in diameter. Radiological as well as endoscopic examination gave evidence of a spastic process in the sigmoid colon. The patient was treated with a subtotal colectomy and the intraoperative findings revealed a stenotic stricture in the sigmoid colon. Since the histological examination did not find a conclusive reason for the functional stenosis, an immunohistochemical staining was advised. This showed a decrease in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the stenotic part of the sigmoid colon. Discussion: This case report describes a patient with an idiopathic megacolon, where the underlying cause remained unclear until an immunohistochemical staining of the stenotic colon showed a substantial decrease of ICCs. Various pathologies leading to a megacolon are reviewed and discussed.
