BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-201653 DESCRIPTION A 67-year-old right-handed man, with known renal cell carcinoma (RCC), presented to the hospital with a painful and swollen right wrist joint and severe hypercalcaemia (albumin-corrected serum calcium level of 3.6 mmol/L) with low parathyroid hormone...

We treated a prospective series of 18 patients (nine men and nine women) with a mean age of 35 years (range 15 to 57), with chronic predynamic or dynamic scapholunate instability by a dorsal intercarpal ligament capsulodesis using the modified Mayo technique. All the patients were assessed by the modified Mayo wrist score and DASH questionnaire. Wrist arthroscopy was done in all patients before...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the wrist in detecting early joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS MRI was performed on 42 patients with early RA (median symptom duration of four months). Scans were scored separately by two musculoskeletal radiologists using a newly devised scoring system, which was validated. MRI findings were...

OBJECTIVE To compare ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in their capability to detect bone erosions in early-advanced rheumatoid arthritis, where no erosion was evident on conventional radiography (X-ray). METHODS Metacarpophalangeal (MCP), radiocarpal and ulnocarpal joints of 13 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with bone erosion that was not detected by conventional...

This article gives a short overview of the development and characteristics of the OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis MRI scoring system (RAMRIS), followed by an introduction to the use of the EULAR-OMERACT rheumatoid arthritis MRI reference image atlas. With this atlas, MRIs of wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis can be scored for synovitis, bone oedema, and bon...

Most soft tissue mass lesions of the hand are benign. Ganglia are the commonest lesions encountered, followed by giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath. Malignant tumors are rare. Often a specific diagnosis can be achieved on imaging by considering the location and anatomical relations of the lesion within the hand or wrist, and assessing its morphology. Magnetic resonance imaging is an excelle...

Nodular fasciitis is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. It frequently mistaken for sarcomatous lesion because its rapid growth, imaging features aggressive pathological findings. Though plays vital role in evaluating these lesions, strong suspicion with careful histopathology the final answer. We present patient nodular involving upper extremity. A 15-year-old boy present...
