BACKGROUND Chondroblastomas are rare epiphyseal bone tumors. Very few cases with extra-cortical aggressive soft tissue invasion or metastasis are reported. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 28 year-old adult male who presented with a large swelling over the left shoulder region. Pre-operative imaging revealed a large tumor arising from upper end of humerus with extensive soft tissue involvement n...

Case presentation: We report a 28 year old adult male who presented with a large swelling over left shoulder region. Pre-operative imaging revealed a large tumor arising from upper end of humerus with extensive soft tissue involvement necessi...

Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous infection of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues caused by filamentous bacteria (actinomycetoma) or fungi (eumycetoma). The most common site the foot, followed hand, but sometimes other body parts may also be infected. patients present with painless hard swelling mass, multiple sinuses, pathognomonic discharge grains. A 42-year-old male patient, presented pain...

BACKGROUND Fractures of the extremities are often complicated by a variable degree of swelling secondary to hemorrhage and soft tissue injury. Patients typically require up to 7 days of inpatient bed rest and elevation to reduce swelling to an acceptable level for operative treatment with internal fixation. Alternatively, an intermittent pneumatic compression device, such as the Vascular Impuls...

BACKGROUND Soft-tissue tumours comprise a large heterogeneous group of mesenchymal neoplasms that is classified according to their normal tissue counterpart. They are ubiquitous in nature and can pose a challenge in terms of diagnosis and therefore, in their management. Biopsy findings bear direct implications on the treatment outcomes. AIMS The current study was conducted to understand vario...

OBJECTIVE To present a case of chronic elbow pain as a result of a hidden underlying osteochondral defect. CLINICAL FEATURES A 17-year old baseball player presented with chronic lateral elbow pain. Examination revealed swelling of the elbow with signs of possible ligament, muscle, and tendon injury. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT Although there was apparent soft-tissue injury, the elbow swelling c...

Pachydermoperiostosis is a rare disease characterized by clubbing, periostosis, and soft tissue swelling, caused mutations in any of the genes involved prostaglandin metabolism (SCLO2A1 HPDG). Disease may also cause inflammatory arthritis included differential diagnosis juvenile chronic arthritis. A 17-year-old boy presented to our pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic with complaints pain s...

Interface stresses and stump shape were measured during sessions over a two-month interval on a trans-tibial amputee subject. Results from thirteen transducer sites monitored during four sessions showed greater interface pressure changes over time at anterior sites than at lateral or posterior locations. There was a trend of decreased pressure with stump swelling and increased pressure for stum...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to report an unusual case of multiple soft tissue metastases of osteosarcoma detected using bone scan and confirmed by CT scan. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 15-year-old patient with a history of osteogenic sarcoma presented with fatigue and loss of appetite in addition to a painless swelling of the distal left lower extremity. Bone scan and chest...

INTRODUCTION Diode laser with wavelengths ranging from 810 to 980 nm in a continuous or pulsed mode was used as a possible instrument for soft tissue surgery in the oral cavity. DISCUSSION Diode laser is one of laser systems in which photons are produced by electric current with wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980nm. The application of diode laser in soft tissue oral surgery has been evaluated fr...
