Subungual Pigmented SCC on the Left Middle Finger

This is a case of plant thorn synovitis of the hand in an adult following a plum tree thorn injury, the first reported case in the hands in the past decade. The patient initially presented with persistent joint discomfort following removal of a retained plum thorn fragment from the skin overlyin the proximal interphalangeal joint of the left middle finger. Initial radiography and sonography imaging following the removal revealed no foreign bodies. However, the patient’s symptoms were worsening and refractory to anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment. An exploratory surgery was carried out, which revealed multiple plant thorn fragments within the synovium, each measuring approximately 1 mm in size. A synovectomy was performed and the patient recovered with full function. Our case of plant thorn synovitis is discussed along with a review of the current literature on plant thorn synovitis in the hands.

Malignant Phyllodes Tumour

Fingertip infections are commonly diagnosed in primary care. There is a serious condition, acrometastases, that is often mistaken for these infections. Acrometastases are defined as metastases located distal to the elbow or knee. We present a case of a malignant phyllodes tumour with acrometastases to the distal phalanx of the left middle finger that was misdiagnosed as a fingertip infection on 2 separate occasions, highlighting the need for vigilance regarding acrometastases.

We experienced a case of crush injury of the hand for which we performed a flap surgery and treated the necrotic parts placement using cultured allogeneic keratinocytes (Kaloderm® ) with good results. The patient was a 31-year-old woman whose left middle finger was caught in a door, causing a crush injury. Although primary repair was performed, a 2 × 2.5-cm-sized necrosis developed, and a V-Y advancement flap was performed after the removal of dead tissues. However, a 1 × 2-cm-sized partial necrosis occurred and was treated using Kaloderm ® . After the use of Kaloderm® , the patient’s wound was healed, and no complications, except for mild pain, were observed for 1 year after the surgery. If a necrotic site appears after flap placement of fingertip, its treatment is difficult. If used well, Kaloderm® may be a good option for necrosis of the fingertips and other areas that are difficult to cure.

Abstract A 2-month-old male infant presented with a subcutaneous mass on the left middle finger; the mass had been present since birth. This was treated with local excision, and there has been no recurrence. Histology revealed the typical features of a fibrous hamartoma. Cytogenetic studies revealed a reciprocal translocation, t(2;3)(q31;q21), as the sole abnormality. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the cytogenetic findings in fibrous hamartoma, and it suggests that this lesion represents a benign neoplasm.

The role of signal intensity in tactile temporal numerosity discrimination was investigated for limited conditions of signal number and presentation rate. Trains of 5 to 18 mechanical ‘taps’ were presented at rates of 6, 8, 10, 12, or 15 s−1 to the ball of the left middle finger at either 75 or 125 V (15 or 20 dB SL, respectively). Trains of signals of greater intensity were counted reliably more accurately. Results from this spatially static arrangement are compared to those obtained under conditions of spatial variation where signals of identical intensity were delivered to multiple loci instead of to a single locus. It is concluded that the absolute judgment of the number of tactile signals in a train is a very labile process and highly dependent upon, and specific to, the physical characteristics—temporal, spatial, and intensive—of the stimulus complex.

AbstractEpidermal inclusion cyst is a benign lesion that commonly occurs due to inclusion of epidermal cells into the dermal or deeper layers in a trauma event. Percutaneous release is a minimally invasive technique, and good surgical outcomes can be achieved. However, the percutaneous procedure is a puncture injury, and the epidermal inclusion cyst is reasonable to become a possible complication. In this article, we presented a case of trigger finger in left middle finger. The patient underwent percutaneous release as the treatment and a second percutaneous release 5 months later due to recurrence of the symptoms. An epidermal inclusion cyst was noted 5 months thereafter, and it was treated with excision. With this case, we need to be more aware of this possibility if a mass lesion without infection signs occurs in the released area and recommend sonography if there is a mass lesion a few months after the procedure.
