Subungual Melanoma

A rare case of subungual malignant melanoma in a 43-year-old male, with black dystrophic right thumb nail plate with positive Hutchison sign is presented. Early detection in malignant melanoma is vital for improved treatment outcomes and prognosis. Subungual melanoma presents in a more disguised manner than cutaneous lesions and therefore requires increased vigilance and awareness [1]. Patient underwent disarticulation just distal to the proximal interphalangeal joint. Histopathology confirmed malignant melanoma, and resection free of tumour cells. Our case highlights how any pigmented lesions within the nail bed matrix should raise suspicion and the need for early referral and biopsy.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 12 No. 03 July ’13 Page 322-324 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v12i3.13200

We report a rare case of open dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint which needed operative reduction. A 39-year-old man injured his right middle finger while playing baseball. There was a laceration on the proximal interphalangeal crease, and the condyles of the proximal phalanx protruded through the wound. The flexor tendons had slipped behind the radial condyle, and made reduction impossible. After the flexor tendons and volar plate were replaced back into their normal position, the reduction was successful. Finally, the patient had full and painless motion of the digit. We review the reported cases of this injury in the relevant literature.

Lateral Dislocation

We present a rare case of a lateral dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint that required open reduction. During an operation, we found the collateral ligament and the capsule interposing into the joint space. After reducing the soft tissue and reproducing the collateral ligament with a suture anchor, sufficient joint stability and full range of motion was achieved.

Joint Dislocations

Proximal interphalangeal joint dislocations are injuries observed frequently and caused by axial loading on the finger in the extension. In this paper we present a traumatic open finger dislocation due to a ball hitting a wrestler. It was successfully treated with reduction and the volar plate and collateral bond fixation were applied with absorbable sutures.

Melanomas affecting the small bowel are usually metastasis from primary cutaneous lesions. A primary melanoma of the gastrointestinal tract is very rare with reported incidence of just 3%. We present a case of small bowel melanoma with liver metastases. Primary malignant melanoma of the small intestine is quite rare with only a few cases reported in literature. Like its cutaneous counterpart, intestinal melanomas too remains an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. The overall survival of malignant melanoma affecting the GI tract is 4 to 6 months with a survival rate of less than 10% at 5 years.

Introduction: At present there are no exact epidemiologic data on the prevalence of neonatal skin disorders and birth marks in Hungary. Aim: The aim of the authors was to investigate the prevalence of skin disorders in mature healthy neonates after birth. Method: The survey was carried out in the Neonatal Care Unit at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Szeged between April, 2012 and May, 2013. Results:A total of 2289 newborn infants underwent whole-body screening skin examinations. At least one skin manifestation was found in 63% of the neonates. The major groups of skin disorders were transient benign cutaneous lesions, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, traumatic, iatrogenic, congenital or acquired disorders with skin injuries, developmental abnormalities and benign skin tumours. The most frequent transient cutaneous lesions were erythema toxicum neonatorum, sebaceous hyperplasia and desquamation. The most common vascular lesions were naevus simplex, haemangioma and haemangioma precursor lesion, while the most frequently observed pigmented lesions were congenital melanocytic naevi and Mongolian spot. Conclusions: In the vast majority of cases, special treatment was not necessary, but 5.27% of the neonates required local dermatologic therapy, and in 9.2% of neonates follow up was recommended. Orv.

This review describes the different possibilities for arthroplasties at the proximal interphalangeal joint, thumb carpometacarpal joint, distal radioulnar joint, metacarpophalangeal joint and the wrist. For each joint, the indication for arthroplasty is explained, the surgical technique with the suitable implant is described and a brief summary of the outcomes reported in the literature is given.
